The descriptive study is to compare this new device, the Laryngeal tube airway with the Laryngeal mask airway in securingthe upper airway during short surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
After obtaining Institutional approval and written informed consent from all patients, 60 patients ASA I/II, aged 20–50 in this study. They were randomly classified into two groups, Group I (LT) and Group II (LMA).
Thefirstattemptsuccessrate in securingthe airway with LT was80.0% and thesuccess rate with LMAwas86.6%. The time taken for securing the airway with LT was 37.76 + 5.27 and with LMA was 29.26 + 4.22 sec
Laryngeal tube is superior to LMA in providing a better airway seal.
