Dr. Kiran Choudhary, Dr. S.P. Chittora, Dr. Neha Goel

Background: The advent and widespread adoption of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) represent a significant turning point in the domain of anesthesiology, particularly in the context of airway management during surgical procedures.Propofol is particularly valued for its efficacy and has emerged as the induction agent of choice for LMA insertion.Objectives:this study was done with the aim to compare the easiness of Laryngeal Mask Airway insertion using Sevoflurane inhalational technique and Propofol intravenous induction technique in patients undergoing elective minor surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: After approval of Ethical committee of our institute, we conducted a prospective study in 80 patients selected for study & randomly divided into two groups. Group-P (N=40) - Propofol 2mg/kg IV.Group-S (N=40) - 8% Sevoflurane.Easiness of LMA insertion,time taken to LMA insertion (s),number of Attempts (n), Successful initial mouth opening were observed. Results: The time taken for induction and LMA insertion in Sevoflurane group was significantly longer than Propofol. Propofol provides good mouth opening and easy LMA insertion as compared to Sevoflurane while Sevoflurane provides better haemodynamic profile and less chances of apnea, Gagging, coughing during LMA insertion as compared to Propofol. Conclusion: Sevoflurane is associated with good hemodynamic stability, but the quality of anesthesia provided with Propofol is superior. Thus Sevoflurane is an acceptable alternative to a protocol for LMA insertion in adults.
