A comparison between the Supreme laryngeal mask airway and the laryngeal tube suction during spontaneous ventilation: A randomized prospective study
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology Jul 25, 2018
Somri M, et al. - Researchers compared the Supreme laryngeal mask airway (SLMA) to the laryngeal tube suction-disposable (LTS-D) in eighty patients with normal airways undergoing elective general anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation, with a focus on efficacy and adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation. They found that neither of the devices resulted in a single case of desaturation of oxygen saturation (SpO2) values of less than 95%. They observed that the mean difference for SpO2 between the two devices (0.7%) had no clinical significance. Overall, findings demonstrated the suitability and the efficacy of both SLMA and LTS-D for airway management in patients breathing spontaneously during general anesthesia for minor surgery of short duration.
