Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  i-gel  i-gel (Intersurgical,Wokingham,Berkshire,UK) is a second generation supraglottic airway device. It was invented by Muhammed Nasir in 2003.It is cuffless with a gastric channel. It is made of a thermoplastic elastomer called SEBS(Styrene Ethylene Butadiene Styrene).It has a special property to conform according to the patient’s anatomy of hypopharynx after its placement. It is due to the expansion of elastomer which is activated by the body temperature. It is a single use device. It has additional features such as epiglottic rest, buccal cavity stabilizer and bite block. It can be used as a conduit for intubation. It’s advantages include prevention of rotation due to buccal cavity stabiliser, prevents downfolding of epiglottis, and airway obstruction 
Intervention  ProsealLMA  Proseal–LMA{LMA-PROSEAL, PLMA} is a second generation supraglottic device. It is a reusable device.It reduces the risk of gastric insufflations and pulmonary aspiration.It has six sizes(1.5,2,2.5,3,4,5).It has both dorsal and ventral cuff.Proseal-LMA sizes 1.5,2 and 2.5 doesn’t have dorsal cuff.The ventral cuff is larger and provides good seal. It also has a bite block where the teeth contact the LMA. It is flexible due to wire reinforcement in airway tube.It has an accessory vent to prevent secretions from pooling.After placement the cuff tip lies behind the cricoid cartilage at the origin of esophagus

Brief Summary  

The Laryngeal mask airways are supraglottic airway devices that has gained popularity over years in managing difficult airway,nonoperating room anaesthesia,day care surgeries,ophthalmologic surgeries, etc.These devices have been designed to provide and maintain seal around laryngeal inlet and are considered effective alternatives to endotracheal tube. The relatively newer second generation such as LMAs such as proseal LMA and i-gel  are used widely in children. The  objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of their use in paediatric population undergoing elective surgeries in terms of  successful airway placement,oropharyngeal leak pressure, gastric tube insertion, ease of insertion and complications anticipated during spontaneous ventilation and postoperatively

All children aged between 1 to 10years scheduled for elective surgeries with duration less than 2hr,BMI<30 and with ASA physical status of I and II meeting the inclusion criteria will be included. After informed consent, eligible patients will be advised fasting orders for solids and liquids and will be randomly allocated on the day of surgery by opaque envelope concealment method. After securing a good intravenous access after inhalational induction and connecting ASA standard monitors, the child will be deepened for LMA insertion with  intravenous agents like fentanyl (1-2 mcg/kg)and propofol (1-2 mg/kg).The successful placement of LMA will be assessed on ease of insertion of LMA ,acquiring adequate tidal volumes, oropharyngeal leak pressure, ease of gastric tube insertion, any laryngospasm during induction and maintenance will be observed and after extubation staining of LMA with blood and sore throat ,hoarse cry,discomfort in throat will be observed in postanaesthesia care unit.

There are very few studies comparing proseal LMA and i-gel in paediatric population under spontaneous ventilation.Proseal LMA is considered as standard of care and from this study if i-gel proves to be noninferior to Proseal LMA,it may be used alternatively in future elective surgical day to day practices.
