Supraglottic airway devices versus endotracheal intubation for laparoscopic surgeries: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Laparoscopic surgeries are among the most frequent procedures done worldwide. There is a gradual shift in the method of airway securement from endotracheal intubation to supraglottic airway devices (SAD). The objective of the current work was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of published RCTs on airway complications in laparoscopic surgery performed with a SAD or endotracheal intubation (ETT).

Methods

The research was registered in PROSPERO, and a literature search was conducted in Google Scholar and PubMed until August 2022. Out of 78 studies, 31 studies were screened and 21 were included for analysis. RevMan 5.4 was used to analyse data on sore throat, hoarseness, nausea, vomiting, stridor and cough.

Results
