Abstract :Background: Supraglottic airway devices are frequently preferred in surgical surgery for pediatric patients. I-gel LMA and Ambu Aura-i LMA are the new generation supraglottic airway devices. This study aimed to compare airway trauma and postoperative complications due to i-gel and Ambu Aura-i in infants. Materials and Methods: In the study, patients were divided into two groups that performed minor surgery ASA I and 40 infants. After standard anesthesia, i-gel was placed into one group, and Ambu Aura-i was placed into another. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed at the end of the surgery. Mucosal damage and postoperative complications in laryngopharyngeal structures were compared. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of age and body weight averages, LMA size, complication distribution, duration of anesthesia, and mean duration of surgery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.930, p=0.743, p=0.705, p=0.151, p=0.894, p=0.710);. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding grading according to the flexible bronchoscopy appearance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.112, p=0.201, p=0.632);. Conclusions: There is no difference in laryngopharyngeal mucosal damage and postoperative airway complicati-ons due to i-gel and Ambu Aura-i in infants. Both devices can be used effectively and safely in this age group.
