Background: The Baska Mask ® with a self recoiling cuff is the newest addition to the family of supraglottic airway devices. We compared Baska mask’s clinical efficacy with i-gel ®, which also has a soft non-inflatable cuff, in adult patients undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anaesthesia
Objectives: The primary objective is to evaluate the devices performance on the basis of:
? User rated ease of insertion of the device
? Overall successful insertion of the device
? Attempts taken to establish a effective airway
? Efficacy of the seal
? Success rates of orogastric tube insertion and number of attempts
? Intraoperative complications
? Postoperative complications
Methodology: 60 patients of age between 18-60 years undergoing elective surgical procedures of ASA status I and II will be included in the study. Patients will be induced on Propofol and anaesthesia will be deepened using Sevoflurane. Once adequate depth of anaesthesia is achieved either i-gel or Baska mask, using a random computerised table, will be inserted to establish an airway.
Results: We hypothesize that the ease of insertion and efficacy of the seal of Baska mask will be better that i-gel and that the insertion success rates will be comparable if not superior to i-gel. Intraoperative complications like airway leak, laryngospam and shape distortion and postoperative complications like dysphagia and sore throat are anticipated to be less likely in Bask mask than i-gel.
Conclusion: We anticipate concluding that Baska mask will be easy to insert, even by novice anaesthesiologist and that intraoperative and postoperative complications like airway failure, aspiration and laryngospasm will largely reduce due this new novel device.
