An evaluation of Gastro Laryngeal Tube (GLT) in patients undergoing ERCP under general anaesthesia and its
comparison with endotracheal intubation

Gastro Laryngeal tube (GLT) is a newly introduced supraglottic device specifically designed for Endoscopic retrograde Cholangio-
Pancreatography (ERCP). It has a dedicated channel for the insertion of a Gastroscope and it also provides a separate patent
airway whilst avoiding disadvantages of tracheal intubation. In a randomized controlled trial on 100 patients undergoing ERCP
under GA, GLT was compared with endotracheal tube as an alternative airway device. Device insertion conditions, oxygenation and
ventilation parameters were recorded. GLT was found to be comparable with ETT. Success rate of insertion of GLT was high (92%)
and the insertion time of GLT was much shorter. Both the devices were equally effective in normal oxygenation and ventilation. The
recovery time was significantly shorter and postoperative complications such as hoarseness and dysphonia were less common in GLT
gp. Inserting conditions for the duodenoscope were better in GLT gp. In this study, likely to be first of its kind, it is concluded that
the GLT is a suitable and better alternative to ETT as it allows adequate ventilation and is associated with faster recovery times and
minimal extubation-related complications while enhancing operative conditions for gastroenterologists. Its regular use in patients
undergoing ERCP is strongly recommended.
