Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Airway secured for general anesthesia in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries using Baska mask® supraglottic airway device.  Patient airway is secured with appropriate sized Baska mask® supraglottic airway device once at the time of induction of general anesthesia. Duration: Until successful placement and fixation of the device (approximately 1–2 minutes). 
Comparator Agent  Airway secured for general anesthesia in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries using i-gel® supraglottic airway device.  Patient airway is secured with appropriate sized i-gel® supraglottic airway device once at the time of induction of general anesthesia. Duration: Until successful placement and fixation of the device (approximately 1–2 minutes).

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To study and compare first-time successful insertion rate and the ease of insertion.  First-time successful insertion rate and the ease of insertion are assessed and recorded immediately (0 minutes).  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Brief Summary  

This is a prospective, randomized clinical study designed to compare two supraglottic airway devices—the Baska Mask® and the i-gel®—for airway management during elective laparoscopic abdominal surgeries under general anesthesia.

Seventy adult patients (ASA physical status I–II) will be randomly allocated into two equal groups of 35 each:

Group BM: Airway secured with Baska Mask®

Group IG: Airway secured with i-gel®

All patients will receive standardized anesthetic induction and maintenance, and airway insertion will be performed after muscle relaxation. The number of insertion attempts will be limited to three, with tracheal intubation performed if insertion fails.

The primary objective is to compare the first-time successful insertion rate and ease of insertion between the two devices.

Secondary objectives include comparing insertion time, leak fraction, and postoperative laryngopharyngeal complications such as sore throat, dysphagia, cough, or mucosal trauma at 0, 2, and 12 hours postoperatively.

The study aims to determine which device offers easier and more effective airway management with fewer postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
