However, no randomized controlled trial has compared air-Q\u2122 with i-gel\u2122 and LMA-S\u2122 in adult patient. Hence, we designed this study to compare air-Q\u2122 with LMA-S\u2122 and i-gel\u2122 in adult patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 75 adult patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I\/II of both sexes, between 18 and 60 years, were included in this prospective randomized controlled trial conducted in a tertiary care center. Randomization of patients was done in three equal groups according to the insertion of supraglottic airway device by a computer-generated random number sequence: group air-Q\u2122 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 25), group i-gel\u2122 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 25), and group LMA-S\u2122 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 25).

The first insertion success rate for air-Q\u2122, i-gel\u2122, and LMA-S\u2122 was 80%, 76%, and 92%, respectively (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.353).
