The cricoid ring, the only circumferentially solid cartilage within the airway, placed immediately below the vocal cords, is the narrowest part of the paediatric airway, whereas in adults it is the glottis. Being covered by loosely adherent pseudostratified columnar epithelium, it can be easily subjected to edema in case of irritation. A total number of 90 paediatric patients posted for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia and satisfying the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study after obtaining informed, written, valid consent from their parents/guardian. Group B (Baska mask) has 30 patients with a mean age of 10.6 years with a standard deviation of 0.9, group I (igel) has 30 patients with a mean age of 9.8 years with a standard deviation of 1.3 and group P (LMA ProSeal) has 30 patients with a mean age of 9.4 years with a standard deviation of 0.9. ANOVA test was used for comparison of the three study groups and with p value obtained as 0.43, the three groups are comparable in terms of age. On comparison of weight of patients in these three groups, group B patients have a mean weight of 21.6 kg witha standard deviation of 1.2, group I patients have 22.2 kg with a standard deviation of 1.8 and group P have 20.3 kg with a standard deviation of 2.9. Based on ANOVA test, p value obtained here is 0.54, hence the groups are comparable in terms of weight as well.
