The novel features of the Baska mask are its integrated bite-block, which prevents airway block due to patients biting the device and an extended hand-tab attached to the cuff which helps the operator to manipulate its degree of flexion while inserting the device. Last but not the least, the device can be inserted in neutral head position. The Baska mask is available in four sizes, paediatric and adult, in single use and reusable types. Pre-anaesthetic evaluation of all patients were done on the previous day of surgery by an anaesthesiologist. All patients under the above-said inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated into following groups after taking informed, written and valid consent from their parents/guardian:Group B(n=30): patients receiving Baska mask Group I (n=30): patients receiving I-Gel,Group P (n=30): patients receiving LMA-ProSeal.Post-operative blood-staining of device on removal was seen in only one patient (3.3%) in group P and cough in one patient in group B (3.3%) which were insignificant with a p value of 0.36. Other complications (desaturation, laryngospasm, aspiration, mucosal/lip trauma, dysphagia, hoarseness) were not observed in any patient
