Abstract
Laryngeal mask airways are supraglottic airway devices designed to provide and maintain aseal around the laryngeal inlet and are effective alternatives to endotracheal tubes. The
relatively newer second generation supraglottic airway devices, LMA-ProSeal, I-Gel & Baska
mask have been safely used in children during spontaneous or controlled ventilation without
complications. A total number of 90 paediatric patients of ASA grade I and II, weighing 10-
25 kg, of either sex, 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. According to our observations, mean insertion time taken for
group B was 15.8 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.9, 10.6 seconds with a standard
deviation of 1.1 for group I and 13.5 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.9 for group P. On
analysis by ANOVA test, p value obtained is 0.001 (significant, <0.05) which implies that
insertion time taken for group B is significantly greater than that of group P and group I.
