Abstract

Background: The Ambu® Aura40™ is a reusable supraglottic device made up of silicone. It features a built-in curve that carefully replicates the natural human anatomy of the upper airway and has the flexibility needed to adapt to individual anatomical variances and a wide range of head positions. Methods: We report a series of 5 patients scheduled for elective operative procedures managed with Ambu Aura40TM LMA. A balanced anesthesia technique was used and maintained with vecuronium and isoflurane. Results: The mean insertion time of Ambu Aura 40™ LMA  is (33.20 + 4.97) seconds. The first insertion attempts were successful in 80% of patients i.e. 4 out of 5 cases and in only one case second attempt was required. In 3 out of 5 cases (60%), no resistance was experienced during insertion. The hemodynamic profiles of patients during a peri-insertion period of Ambu Aura40™ LMA remain stable in all the cases. Only one patient developed a sore throat in the postoperative period and blood on the device was not present in any case. Conclusion: As an LMA with enhanced features and reliability Ambu Aura40™ has the potential for airway solutions in patients undergoing operative procedures.
