Rationale: AmbuAuraGain (AAG), i-gel and LMAProseal(PLMA) are some
of the supraglottic devices which are used forcontrolled ventilation during
general anaesthesia. However, there is limited literature comparing the three
devices for theirperformance in laparoscopic surgeries. Whatever studiesare
available, their results are contradictory
Aim: To compare and evaluate the performance of three supraglottic
devices namelyAmbuAuraGain,i-gel and LMA Proseal in patients undergoing
laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia
Primary Objective
To
compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure of AmbuAuraGain&i-gel withLMA
Proseal.
Secondary Objectives
Insertion characteristics –
Ease of insertion
Number of attempts for successful
insertion
Success rate in first attempt
Maneuvers required for insertion
Ease of insertion of gastric tube
Hemodynamic changes
Complicationslike oropharyngeal trauma, sore throat
Setting: The study will be conducted in Department of Anaesthesiology,
Critical Care and Pain Medicine, UCMS and GTB Hospital, Delhi
Study design: Randomized comparative study
Time frame: November 2019 to April 2021
Population/ participants: Patients of either gender, between 18-60years ASAgrade I/II
with Modified Mallampatti class I/II admitted for elective
laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia
Exclusion Criteria:
BMI > 30 kg/m2
Pregnant women
Known or predicted difficult airway
Known case of COPD, asthma or any
other restrictive or obstructive respiratory pathology
Patients at high risk for
pulmonary aspiration
Sample Size: 20 patients in each group, a total of 60 patients.
Method of Randomization: The patients will be assigned to one of the three
groups using computer generated random number table.
Group-A: AmbuAuraGain will be inserted as airway maintenance device
Group-I: i-gel will be inserted as airway maintenance device
Group-P: LMA Proseal will be inserted as airway maintenance device
Methodology:PAC will be done one day prior to surgery, a written informed
consent will be taken.In OT, all the routine monitors will be attached and
baseline vitals readings will be noted. An intravenous line will be secured.
Depending on the randomization, one of the three devices (Ambu AuraGain, i-gel
or PLMA) will be examined and prepared as per guidelines. Standard general
anaesthesia technique will be given. Supraglottic airway device will be
inserted with the patient’s head in sniffing position. Correct placement of
device will be confirmed by bilateral chest expansion, auscultation of chest
and appearance of first square wave on capnograph on monitor. An orogastric
tube of appropriate size will be passed through the drainage tube following
lubrication and its position will be confirmed by epigastric auscultation of
air.
Outcome Measures:
1.
Oropharyngeal leak pressure
[Primary]
2.
Ease of insertion
3.
Number of attempts for successful insertion
4.
Success rate in first attempt
5.
Maneuvers required for insertion
6.
Ease of insertion of gastric tube
7.
Hemodynamic changes(HR, SBP, DBP)
8.
Complications like oropharyngeal trauma, sore throat
STATISTICAL
ANALYSIS
Statistical
analysis will be done by using SPSSversion 20.0 or higher.
All the 3 groups will be compared by one way ANOVA followed by Tukeys test at
5% level of significance for quantitative parameters.Repeatedly measured
parameters will be compared by repeated measure ANOVA.Qualitative parameters
will be compared by Chi -square test/Fischer exact test. Bonferroni correction will
be done wherever required. A p value of <0.05 will be considered as
significant. |
