Study aim
-
A comparative study between the endotracheal tube and I-GEL in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia
-
Design
-
A double-blinded and randomized clinical trial with parallel groups design of 92 patients.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study is conducted as a clinical trial in Alzahra Hospital in Rasht. After explaining the purpose and method of the research, informed consent will be obtained. The patient will be in the supine position and standard monitoring will be established. After pre-oxygenation with 100% oxygen, induction of anesthesia will be done. Then mechanical ventilation will be established in two groups. All patients will be operated by one anesthesiologist, one anesthetic method, one surgeon, and one laparoscopy instrument.This study will be double-blinded and patients, the evaluator and the surgeon will be unaware of the groups.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: Elective laparoscopic surgeries, full fasting time of 8 hours, no history of reflux, age range between 18-55 years, duration of the operation less than two hours. Exclusion criteria: Having any pathological problems in the neck and upper airway, high risk for aspiration, failure to open the mouth more than 2.5 centimeters,emergency surgery

Intervention groups
-
Intervention group A: In the endotracheal tube group, after the laryngoscopy of the patient by the anesthesiologist, the patient will be intubated with an appropriate size endotracheal tube according to the patient's condition. Intervention group B: In the I-gel group, first, the appropriate size of I-gel will be selected for the patient based on the patient's weight. The I-gel will then be moistened with crystalloid and inserted by the anesthesiologist.
