Difficult airway is a nightmare to every anesthetist. Over the last decade, several supraglottic airway devices appeared in the clinical field as an alternative to the more invasive endotracheal intubation(1). However, many anesthetists found themselves unaccustomed with the newly invented devices .Supraglottic airway devices (SAD) have become valuable for both routine and difficult airway management. After the creation of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) classic in the 1980s, there has been a steady increase in the applications for use of supraglottic airways. Developed by Dr. Archie Brain in 2000, the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (P-LMA) is a second-generation supraglottic airway device (SAD) with two lumens separating the alimentary and respiratory channels from each other This study aim to compare the use of the Laryseal Pro and the Proseal LMA as a supraglottic devices by measuring the time of insertion (which is defined as time interval in seconds between removing the ventilation mask and picking the device up till connecting to the ventilator and appearance of the first wave on the capnogram) Objectives: To determine ease of insertion for each supra glotic device. To Estimate the time needed for insertion for each supra glotic device. To identify airway pressure leakage, gastric tube insertion success and complication for each device. It is hypothesized that the Laryseal pro is a safe superior supraglottic airway device and its insertion is easier than the LMA-Proseal .
