Abstract
Effective airway management is essential in anesthesia, with endotracheal intubation (ETI) widely regarded as the standard technique. However, ETI is associated with significant hemodynamic responses due to sympathetic stimulation during laryngoscopy, which may pose risks, particularly in patients with cardiovascular compromise. Laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) offer a less invasive alternative and are increasingly used in clinical practice. Despite their growing adoption, limited evidence exists comparing the hemodynamic effects of LMA insertion versus ETI in surgical patients
