Proseal laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal intubation in lower abdominal gynecological surgeries for perioperative gastric volume assessment and assessing postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal functions: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the context of perioperative care, the concern of gastric content aspiration during surgical procedures is crucial, though relatively rare. Supraglottic devices after the creation of pneumoperitoneum and positive pressure ventilation may cause gastric insufflation. This study explores the unique aspects of antral cross-sectional area (CSA) measurement as a novel indicator in comparing the use of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal intubation in airway management during lower abdominal surgeries and assessing postoperative recovery in both the groups.

Methods

The study commenced after obtaining approval from Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC number-AIIMS/IEC/22/251 Date: 27/05/2022) and after registration in Clinical Trials Registry - India (
