Abstract
Background And Aims: Laryngeal mask airways are gaining popularity these days in airway management and can be used for various types of surgeries and also during resuscitation. The aim of the study is to compare the induction characteristics and hemodynamic changes associated with intravenous injection of Propofol or inhalational Sevourane induction for LMAinsertion during elective surgeries. Materials And Methods: It is a prospective, single blind, randomized controlled study that is conducted at Maharajah's Institute of Medical Sciences, Nellimarla,Vizianagaram from January 2019 to July 2019. The study consists of sixty patients belonging to ASA grade I & II, aged between 20-60 years of both sexes, undergoing elective surgical procedures, which were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 each. Patients in Group-A were induced with intravenous injection of Propofol 2mg/kg and inhalation of 100% Oxygen whereas in Group-B were induced with inhalation of 8% Sevourane in 100% Oxygen. The data regarding time for induction, LMAinsertion and hemodynamic parameters were recorded and compared in both the study groups. Results: The mean time taken for induction and insertion of LMAwas less in Group A(100±13.6sec) compared to Group B(120±14.2sec) and this difference is statistically signicant. The fall in MAPand HR in group - Ais also signicant. Conclusion: The quality of anaesthesia provided by propofol is better when compared to Sevourane for LMAinsertion, even though Sevourane is associated with better haemodynamic stability.
