Role of laryngeal mask airway in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Belena JM, Ochoa EJ, Nunez M, Gilsanz C, Vidal A. World J Gastrointest Surg. 2015;7(11):319-25

Literature search performed on laryngeal mask airway devices with drain tubes to determine efficacy of ventilation and protection against aspiration when compared with tracheal intubation. Results included studies on LMA Supreme, LMA Classic, LMA ProSeal and i-gel.

Randomized comparison of the i-gel(TM) with the LMA Supreme (TM) in anesthetized adult patients

Beleña JM, Núñez M, Vidal A, Gasco C, Alcojor A, Lee P, Pérez JL. Anaesthesist. 2015 Apr;64(4):271-6

140 patients split into device groups, with speed of insertion, success rates, leak pressure and tidal volume evaluated. i-gel proved quicker to insert and generally the results were comparable.

Randomized comparison of the i-gel(TM) with the LMA Supreme (TM) in anesthetized adult patients

Beleña JM, Núñez M, Vidal A, Gasco C, Alcojor A, Lee P, Pérez JL. Anaesthesist. 2015 Apr;64(4):271-6

140 patients split into two groups: i-gel and LMA Supreme, with insertion time, success rate and leak pressure among the results measured. i-gel was quicker to insert but deemed not as easy. No differences were found in leak pressure.
