Official Title: AuraGainTM and I-Gel® Laryngeal Masks in General Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Performance Characteristics and Effects on Hemodynamics

Brief Summary: The standard procedure used for airway control in general anesthesia for LC (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is endotracheal intubation (EI). AuraGain and I-Gel are supraglottic airway devices (SADs) used for airway control for certain types of surgeries. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performances of new types of SADs with EI regarding their insertion times, durations, perioperative complications and effects on hemodynamic parameters and peak airway pressures (Paw) in LC as well.
