A Comparative Study of Clinical Performance of Two Supraglottic AIrway Devices I-Gel vs Cobra Pla for Minor Surgical Procedures.

Supraglottic airway devices are considered an alternative option in patients undergoing short surgery whose duration is anticipated less than 30mins , in these patients conventional airway management with endotracheal intubation can be avoided , there are several supraglottic airway devices available for use , Cobra-PLA and I-gel are such devices which can be employed for airway management , out study compares these two airway devices in terms of the ease of insertion , time of insertion , hemodynamic changes which occur upon its insertion , adequacy of ventilation and oxygenation and incidence of post-operative complications. Cobra-PLA a cuffed peri pharyngeal sealer which is a rst-generation SGA , resembling the hood of a cobra has been compared with other second generation SGA. The I-gel LMA which is a newly introduced cufess second generation LMA has been compared with other rst generation SGA , however there are few studies which compare the Cobra-PLA with the I-gel LMA.
