Protocol summary

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.
Main outcome variables
Difficulty of establishing the airway, Surgeon's satisfaction with the operation field in terms of gastric dilatation, Airway pressure

Public title
Comparison of tracheal intubation and I-GEL in gynecology laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia
Purpose
Supportive
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Elective laparoscopic surgeries Full fasting time of 8 hours No history of reflux American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I,II Age range between 18-55 years The duration of the operation is less than two hours Body mass index (BMI) range between 25-35 kg.m2
Exclusion criteria:
Having any pathological problems in the neck and upper airway Patients at high risk for aspiration (Hiatus hernia , gastroesophageal reflux) Failure to open the mouth more than 2.5 centimeter Emergency surgery Patients with non-observance of standard times for liquids and solids (2 hours before the operation of clear liquids, 6-7 hours of solid foods)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be assigned to two groups A, intubation with tracheal tube and B: I-gel by a random sequence created in blocks of four by WinPepi software, which was created by a statistical consultant and will be performed by a technician who is not aware of the goals of the study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
This study will be double-blinded. Before entering the surgeon to the operating room, induction of anesthesia and establishment of the airway will be done by the anesthesiologist, and anesthesia curtains will be placed. Then, during the procedure, a trained medical student will collect information. In this way, the patient, the evaluator (medical student), and the surgeon who reports satisfaction are unaware of the groups.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group 1: In the endotracheal tube group, after the laryngoscopy of the patient by the anesthesiologist, the patient will be intubated with an appropriate size 7 or 7.5 tracheal tube depending on the patient's condition. If it was not possible to pass the tracheal tube through the vocal cords for the first time, laryngoscopy will be performed again. If the patient cannot be intubated (in two attempts), he will be excluded from the study.

Description
Intervention group 2: In the I-gel group, first the right size of I-gel will be selected for the patient. The size of the I-gel is determined based on the patient's weight. Accordingly, for patients weighing 30-50 kilograms Number 3, for 50-90 kilograms Number 4, and for those above 90 kilograms Number 5 will be suitable. After choosing the right size for the patient, the I-gel will be moistened with crystalloid and then the placement of the I-gel will be done by the anesthesiologist. If adequate ventilation is not established after two attempts, the procedure will be considered a failure and the patient will be excluded from the study.
