Abstract
This study aimed to compare the working performance and insertion characteristics of two supra‐glottic airway devices, the Ambu AuraGain and the ProSeal LMA, during general anesthesia in patients undergoing elective surgeries. Forty patients with ASA physical status I‐III, aged 18 to 60 years, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, were enrolled after obtaining written informed consent. Patients were divided into two groups of 20 each. Group A underwent airway management with the Ambu AuraGain, while Group P received airway management with the ProSeal LMA. Insertion characteristics (including insertion time, number of attempts, device manipulations and failed insertions) and working performance (measured by oropharyngeal leak pressure, EtCO2 and mean expired tidal volume) were recorded at induction. Perioperative data on ease of orogastric tube insertion, hemodynamics (heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure) and complications were also documented.Oropharyngeal leak pressure was significantly higher in Group A compared to Group P (P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in demographic data, insertion characteristics (such as insertion time, number of attempts, device manipulation and failed attempts), EtCO2, mean expired tidal volume, ease of orogastric tube insertion, hemodynamics, or postoperative complications between the two groups. Our findings indicate that the Ambu AuraGain demonstrates superior working performance, as it provides higher oropharyngeal leak pressure compared to the ProSeal LMA, in patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia.
