INSERTION CHARACTERISTICS AND PRESSOR RESPONSE OF LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY COMPARED TO CUFFED OROPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY
Ola Mohamed Mohamed Abdallah;
Abstract
Airway management is one of the most impmiant tasks for any anesthesiologist. It could be carried out by endotracheal and extratracheal airways namely the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the cuffed oropharyngeal airway (COPA) that do not need any muscle relaxation for
their placement.
In this study, the insertion characteristics and the pressor response, after the insertion of the LMA and COPA were studied and compared in thi1iy adult patients ASA I and II, aged 20-40 years. The size of theLMA was chosen according to the body weight, whereas the size of the COPA was chosen by placing the proximal end perpendicular to the angle of the mouth of the patient in whom it will be inse1ied. The appropriate size is when the
mouth guard is one centimeter in front of the lips.
The patients were assessed preoperatively by thorough history taking and clinical examination to assess the general condition as well as the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Also, assessment of the airway using Mallampati scoring was done. On arrival to the operating room, the
• patients were monitored for the heart rate, arterial blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean), ECG changes, oxygen saturation and end-tidal carbon dioxide. Also, a blood sample was obtained for assessment of serum cmiisol and blood glucose levels. Patients were premedicated using atropine sulphate and midazolam and preoxygenation was done by 100% oxygen for three minutes, then anesthesia was induced using Propofol
