Abstract

Background: Supraglottic airway devices (SGADS) like the I-Gel and Baska Mask are commonly used for airway management in short surgical procedures. This study compares their safety and efficacy.

Methods: Thirty ASA I-II patients aged 18-50 years undergoing elective short surgeries were randomized into two groups: Group I (I-Gel) and Group B (Baska Mask), each comprising 15 patients. Metrics such as insertion ease and time, oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), hemodynamics, and complications were evaluated.

Results: Both groups had a 93.3% first-attempt success rate. Insertion time was similar (I-Gel: 8.0s Baska: 7.6s), but Baska had significantly higher OLP (32.3 vs 28.2 cmH2O). Hemodynamics and complications were comparable.

Conclusion: Both SGADS are safe and effective. Baska Mask offers better airway sealing due to higher OLP..
