Comparison of the efficacies of I-gel TM and LMA-ProSeal TM for airway management in pediatric patients

Results: The airway leakage pressure of Group-I was significantly higher than that of Group-P (means ± SD: 28 ± 5 vs. 20 ± 4 cmH 2 O, P < 0.01). The duration of supraglottic airway device insertion was shorter in Group-I than Group-P (19 ± 4 vs. 28 ± 5 s, P < 0.01). The overall success rate was 95% for Group-I and 94% for Group-P (P = 0.10). The I-gel provided a better view of the glottis than the p-LMA (93% of cases in Group-I and 68% of cases in Group-P, P = 0.03). There were no significant differences with regard to ease of insertion (P = 0.97).
