Article Synopsis
- Second-generation supraglottic airway (SGA) devices may be safer than endotracheal tubes (ETTs) in reducing major airway complications during abdominopelvic surgery, according to a comparison of 51 studies involving over 5,100 patients.
- While SGAs show promise in decreasing issues like postoperative sore throat, coughing, and nausea, they also increase the risk of inadequate ventilation.
- Overall, while SGAs present some advantages for patient-centered outcomes, further research is needed to confirm their efficacy and safety compared to ETTs.
