Why the study?
Do supraglottic airway devices reduce airway complications compared to endotracheal tubes in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery?
Do supraglottic airway devices reduce airway complications compared to endotracheal tubes in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery?
Supraglottic airway devices may be clinically more useful than endotracheal tubes in laparoscopic surgery due to a lower incidence of airway complications.
SGA reduces airway complications versus ETT in laparoscopic surgery; confirms benefit in low-certainty RCT evidence.
The incidence of laryngospasm, cough at removal, dysphagia or dysphonia, sore throat, and hoarseness were higher in the ETT group than in the SGA group. However, the groups showed no differences in the rate of insertion success on the first attempt, insertion time, OLP, and other complications. Therefore, SGAs might be clinically more useful as effective airways in laparoscopic surgery.
