Comparison of the Effect of i-Gel ™ and AMBU Aura-i ™ Use on Laryngopharyngeal Mucosa with Flexible Bronchoscopy in Infants

Abstract

Background: Supraglottic airway devices are frequently preferred in surgical surgery for pediatric patients. I-gel LMA and Ambu Aura-i LMA are the new generation supraglottic airway devices. This study aimed to compare airway trauma and postoperative complications due to i-gel and Ambu Aura-i in infants. Materials and Methods: In the study, patients were divided into two groups that performed minor surgery ASA I and 40 infants. After standard anesthesia, i-gel was placed into one group, and Ambu Aura-i was placed into another. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed at the end of the surgery. Mucosal damage and postoperative complications in laryngopharyngeal structures were compared. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of age and body weight averages, LMA size, complication distribution, duration of anesthesia, and mean duration of surgery (p=0.930, p=0.743, p=0.705, p=0.151, p=0.894, p=0.710). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding grading according to the flexible bronchoscopy appearance (p=0.112, p=0.201, p=0.632). Conclusions: There is no difference in laryngopharyngeal mucosal damage and postoperative airway complicati-ons due to i-gel and Ambu Aura-i in infants. Both devices can be used effectively and safely in this age group.
