Summary

The primary objective of study was to compare insertion ease by standard and rotational LMA insertion technique on basis of LMA insertion attempts and insertion time duration. The secondary objective of study was to analyse impact of prior information for airway device, insertion techniques, general or specific work experience in airway management with ease of both insertion techniques. And, tertiary objective of study was to analyse the trainee's preference insertion technique on basis of learning method and practical adaptability.

Hypothesis:

The rotational LMA insertion technique is easy to understand and practice than the standard LMA insertion technique at the beginning of airway management training among the novice anesthesiologists.

Interventions

DEVICE

LMA insertion with standard technique

Standard LMA insertion technique; LMA held like a pen and index finger placed at the junction of LMA tube and cuff. Index finger used to press LMA against hard palate and posterior pharyngeal wall until definite resistance felt at the base of hypopharynx. LMA then held with non- dominant hand and index finger removed. Rotational LMA insertion; LMA inserted like guedel airway insertion: LMA proximally grasped close to anaesthesia circuit attachment. Insertion was conducted with LMA cuff facing towards nose, hard palate and then advanced into the base of hypopharynx until resistance was felt. At this point, LMA rotated at 180 degree anti-clockwise and LMA tube black line positioned and confirmed on the nasal side.
