Postoperative Laryngeal Morbidity –Comparison between Endotracheal Tube and Laryngeal Mask Airway

Abstract

GpL(5.71).Complaints altogether was observed more in Gp E(71.42)than Gp L(51.42). Conclusion-LMA is superior to endotracheal tube due to less incidence of postoperative laryngopharyngeal morbidity though difference was statically insignificant ,also more precise symptoms like sore throat, hoarseness was more with ETT.

Comparison between Air-Q Self Pressurized Airway Device with Blocker and Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway in anesthetized paralyzed adult female patients undergoing elective gynecological operations

“…Each criterion was assigned a value of either 0 or 1 point. When all three conditions were met, the ventilation score was determined to be 3 [ 6 , 9 , 16 – 18 ]. Insertion variables: The insertion time, measured in seconds, refers to the duration required for the accurate installation of SADs.…”

“… Perioperative variables: Duration of: anesthesia induction (s), mechanical ventilation (min), emergence (s), unassisted spontaneous ventilation duration (s), duration of surgical procedure (min), SpO 2 (%), ETCO 2 (mmHg), intra-operative blood-gas samples and haemodynamic parameters. Laryngopharyngeal morbidity (LPM) parameters noted 1 and 4 hours postoperatively ( Table 3 ) [ 18 , 20 ]. …”
