SummaryThe aim of our study was to compare leakage pressure, ease and time of insertion of the i-gel and the LMA-Unique laryngeal mask airway in patients with mild to moderate obesity during elective short-term surgery. In this prospective, randomised crossover trial, we included patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 25 and < 35 kg.m )2 , and , age > 18 years, undergoing elective surgery in the supine position with an expected duration of surgery < 2 h. Leakage pressures, insertion difficulty, time and number of insertion attempts were evaluated. We included 50 patients consisting of 29 mildly (BMI > 25 and < 30 kg.mg) and 21 moderately (BMI > 30 and < 35 kg.mg

RP warming performed as efficiently as FA warming in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
