Abstract：Objective To study the effect of laryngeal mask airway insertion with standard and rotational techniques. Methods All 232 patients were divided randomly into 2 groups: the standard technique group ( Group A) and rotational technique group ( Group B) . All patients were infused with Fentanyl 2μg/kg and Propofol 2. 0 ~2. 5 mg/kg, then laryngeal mask airways were placed with different insertion techniques. The insertion time and the difficulty score for insertion were recorded. Intravenous administration of Propofol and Remifentanil were lasted to 10 minutes before the end of surgery. Patients were interviewed postoperatively for throat and neck complaints at 1, 24, and 48 h. Results All patients were satisfied with anesthesia. Rota-tional technique significantly reduced the time of laryngeal mask airway insertion without fingers operation into which reduced the injuries of oral mucosa, decreased the postoperative sore throat and the incidence of dyspha-gia and lower the discomfortableness of throat and neck. Conclusion Rotational technique of laryngeal mask air-way are more simple, convenient and fast with fewer complications.
