About

Supraglottic airway devices (SGA) become a routine part of the daily anesthesia practice. they can be used as primary airway devices or as conduits for endoracheal intubation and they become an integral part in the recent guidelines for managing difficult airway.

Air-Q ILA has been used successfully as 1ry airway and also as a conduits for endotracheal intubation.

The Ambu® Aura-i TM laryngeal mask is a new disposable SGA claimed to have special advantage over the competitors but not will studied as a conduit for endoracheal intubation.

This study is designed to compare the performance of Ambu®Aura-i™ laryngeal mask with the air-Q ILA as conduits for fiberoptic-guided tracheal intubation in adult population.
