Abstract: Background: Comparison of ease of Insertion of Supraglottic airway devices I-GEL vs LMA-PROSEAL in paediatric elective surgeries. Methodology: The selected children were randomized into one of two groups labelled as I (I-GEL) and P (LMA-PROSEAL) by allotting lots with alphabets I and P. Children with lot I were assigned to group I. Those with lot P were assigned to group P. Each group was allotted with 50 children. Results: In Group P the insertion is easy in 90%, where as in Group I it is 96%. In group P difficult insertion is 10%, in Group I difficult insertion is 4%. The difference between both Groups is statistically significant in term of ease of insertion. (p 0.05). Conclusion: Group I Provided good ease of insertion compare with Group P in case of easy {96%) and difficult (4%) insertions.
