Background and Aims: Primary aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of Intubating LMA (ILMA) and blockbuster LMA in terms of first pass success rate, ease and duration taken for blind tracheal intubation. Material and Methods: The present prospective randomised study was conducted on 70 patients of either sex aged 18-60 years belonging to ASA physical status I or II. Patients were randomly allocated to either, group I and group B of n = 35 each. In group I and B patients were intubated using ILMA and LMA BlockBuster respectively. Insertion time and ease of placement of supraglottic device, total time taken for successful intubation, number of attempts for endotracheal tube (ETT) placement, and ease of placement of ETT, were recorded. Results: In both groups, the supraglottic device was placed on the first attempt in 88.6% patients. The first-attempt success rate for ETT placement was 71.4% in group I versus 94.3% in group B, (P = 0.01) with an overall success rate of 88.5% in group I and 100% in group. More failure rate was observed in group I (11.4%) compared to group B (0%). The total time taken for successful intubation in group I was 11.53 ± 6.410 sec and 9.17 ± 2.749 sec in group B (P = 0.04). Conclusion: We conclude that the modifications in the design of LMA Blockbuster (>95° angle, availability of the parker flex tube 27–30°angle of the emergence of airway tube) make it a more convenient, effective, simpler, and faster intubating device than ILMA.

A Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has two parts, a simple breathing tube and a mask. The mask at the laryngeal end of the tube aligns against the glottis and provides better channel of ventilation than the face mask. There have been modifications in the basic design of the LMA to incorporate gastric drainage channel and some devices are also equipped with a channel for intubation to secure airway by guiding endotracheal tube (ETT) through it. In this study we evaluated the performance of two LMA devices that can aid in rescue ventilation and are also equipped with a channel for intubation namely the BlockBuster LMA(2012) and the Fastrach/ Intubating LMA(1997) for blind oro-tracheal intubation in terms of First attempt success rate and Over-all success rate of intubation. A hundred consenting patients of age group 18-60 years and ASA status I or II, were randomly allocated into two groups Group BB (BlockBuster LMA) and Group FT (Fastrach LMA) with 50 patients each. Standard anesthesia technique was used for both groups. After insertion of airway device, cuff was inflated and ventilation was attempted (maximum 2 attempts). Once ventilation was achieved, ETT of appropriate size was inserted through LMA (maximum 2 attempts). The correct placement of ETT was confirmed by capnography. Data was collected for number of attempts of tracheal intubation, time taken for intubation and complications. First attempt success rate of intubation was more in Blockbuster LMA than Fastrach LMA. Over-all success rate of Intubation was 100% for both devices. Time taken for intubation and incidence of post-operative sore throat was less in BlockBuster LMA than Fastrach LMA(p-value<0.05). Blockbuster LMA is better conduit for oro-tracheal intubation than Fastrach LMA in terms of higher first attempt success rate, lesser time taken for intubation and lesser post-operative complications.
