Supraglottic airway devices are an intermediate between facemask and an ETT. I-gel and LMA-proseal are second generation SAD designed to reduce the risk of aspiration of gastric contents. This prospective randomized study was taken up to compare the clinical performance of i-gel with laryngeal mask airway proseal in elective surgery in adults. After ethical committee approval, following detailed preanesthetic checkup informed written consent was obtained from all the 94 patients of either sex and were randomized in sealed envelope. I-gel group (n=47) and PLMA group (n=47). Demographically both groups were similar. I-gel was more easily inserted than PLMA(p=0.017), mean insertion time for i-gel (12.47±0.62 sec) was significantly lower than PLMA (13.43±0.68sec), p=0.000 and number of attempts were comparable between two groups (p=0.154). 44(93.6%)/3(6.4%) in i-gel group and 31(70.2%)/16(29.8%) patients in PLMA group had fibreoptic score of 1/2 respectively (p=0.003). Gastric tube placement, complications and hemodynamic parameters were comparable.
