Efficacy of laryngeal tube suction Ⅱ versus ProSeal laryngeal mask airway for airway management during general anesthesia / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the efficacy of laryngeal tube suction Ⅱ (LTS Ⅱ ) and ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) for airway management during general anesthesia. Methods One hundred and twenty adult ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ female patients, aged 30-50, with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2, undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 60 each) PLMA group and LTS Ⅱ group. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups PLMA controlled ventilation group (group PC), PLMA spontaneous breathing group (group PS), LTS Ⅱ controlled ventilation group (group LC) and LTS Ⅱ spontaneous breathing group (group LS) . The rate of successful insertion was recorded. PetCO2 , peak airway pressure, lung compliance and incidence of gas leakage during controlled ventilation were recorded before operation, 10 min after the start of operation and at the end of operation. The tidal volume and PetCO2 were recorded in patients breathing spontaneously when the breathing was stable. The bucking and body movement were observed during removal of LTS Ⅱ or PLMA. The side effects in 24 h after surgery were recorded.Results Insertion was successful in all the patients. During either spontaneous breathing or controlled ventilation, the peak airway pressure was significantly higher in the patients with LTS Ⅱ than in the patients with PLMA ( P ＜ 0.05), and there wag no significant difference in the other ventilatory parameters between the two devices. There was no significant difference in the incidences of postoperative complications among the groups ( P ＞ 0.05) . Conclusion The efficacy of PLMA for airway manage ment is better than that of LTSⅡ during general anesthesia.
