“…Loss of verbal contact, loss of motor response to jaw thrust[ 8 – 10 ] and apnoea[ 11 ] are the clinical indicators often utilised for insertion of LMA. A clinical indicator of anaesthetic depth that will provide satisfactory insertion conditions and preserve spontaneous breathing is a safer option.…”

Purpose:A fixed dose of propofol administered rapidly can be insufficient or in excess resulting in airway complications and haemodynamic disturbances. This study is designed to assess whether loss of motor response to jaw thrust can be a reliable clinical indicator of anaesthetic depth for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion.Methods:One hundred and twenty ASA I and II patients scheduled for general anaesthesia on day care basis were randomly allocated into two groups. Following pre-oxygenation, anaesthesia was induced to accomplish LMA insertion either with a 3 mg/kg propofol (Group CD, n=60) or in dose to abolish jaw thrust response (Group JT, n=60). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate were continuously monitored while LMA insertion conditions were recorded using 6 variable, 3 point score.Results:85% patients developed apnea in group CD when compared to 2% in group JT, P<0.0001. Despite similar insertion score, propofol consumption was significantly more in group CD when compared to group JT. More than 20% fall of MAP from baseline was noted in group CD after induction but there was no significant hypotension at any time in group JT.Conclusion:Loss of motor response to jaw thrust provides satisfactory LMA insertion conditions.

“…[ 12 ] However, forward jaw thrust imitates the stimulus that is caused by insertion of LMA;[ 8 ] therefore, loss of motor response to jaw thrust is a reliable clinical indicator of appropriate anaesthetic depth to allow uncomplicated insertion of LMA. [ 8 – 10 ]…”
