The LMA ProSeal provides higher OPLP than the i-gel at a 60° head-rotated position under general anesthesia.

As reported in the abstract
Secondary outcomes
Maximum pressure under volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) at 60° head rotation
- Significantly higher with LMA ProSeal than i-gel
Expiratory tidal volume
- LMA ProSeal: no significant change with head rotation; significantly higher than i-gel at 60° head rotation
Ventilation score and fibreoptic view of the vocal cords
- Not significantly different between ProSeal and i-gel
Safety
Complications
- Not significantly different between ProSeal and i-gel
