Advantages of using supraglottic airway devices for airway management include avoidance of laryngoscopy, increased ease of placement, better hemodynamic stability, to provide clear airway a quicker manner and are designed to overcome the disadvantages of endotracheal intubation like soft tissue injury, exaggerated haemodynamic response.

 Newer SGA(supraglottic airway device) devices have also overcome the limitations of first generation SGA  devices which has lower orpharangeal leak pressure and also reduces the complications of laryngospasm, cough on removal, hoarseness of voice and sore throat which are higher in endotracheal intubation.

 AIR Q is  a  second generation supraglottic airway device that has better cuff, it has removable connector ,large inlet, anatomical bowl and built (mask heel improve placement and seal),epiglottis elevator( which will opens the airway to maximise the access),it has guide ramp( helps to direct the scopes & tube placement, it has a safety hole which provides gas exchange if main tube becomes occluded . Air Q can be a conduit for tracheal intubation.

The Baska Mask is a third generation supraglottic airway device with a non inflatable preformed cuff, an oesophageal drainage inlet, and side channels to facilitate aspiration of gastric contents, and an integrated bite block. 

Many studies have established utility and advantages of AIR Qand Baska mask independently in laparoscopic surgeries. Currently there are no studies in english literature which compare AIR Qand Baska mask in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. In this study we are comparing the oropharyngeal leak pressure, ease of insertion and complications between AIR Qand Baska mask in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery so as to find out better SGA amongst these two.
