Supraglottic airway devices are important tools for airway management. Supraglottic airway devices have been introduced into brief surgical interventions because they are less invasive than intubation and safer than mask to maintain the patency of airway after induction of anesthesia. They are inserted via the oral route and can be used in emergency conditions when tracheal intubation and mask anesthesia are challenging. Air Q intubating airway and Ambu Aura intubating laryngeal mask are two Supraglottic airway devices that are widely used. Aim of the work is to compare Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway versus Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask regarding sealing pressure and Fiberoptic intubation in class II obese patients.
