Objectives: To compare the laryngeal and gastro-intestinal complications of using ETT and LMA after elective orthopedic operations. Results: Cases of nausea, vomiting and sore throat in LMA group were less than ETT group. However, this difference wasnt statistically significant. But cough incidence in ETT group was significantly further than the LMA group. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the LMA and ETT regarding mentioned complications in the first 24 hours after the surgery. Of course more research is recommended in this area, considering the limitations and contrasting evidence.
