Conditions

Health Condition 1: null- ASA I and II children below 1 year of age posted for ophthalmic surgery of 20 min-2 hr duration

Interventions

Intervention1: Air-Qsp: The air-Qsp, which is a new self-pressurizing masked laryngeal airway has a unique cuff design. The mask cuff of Air-Qsp inflates appropriately upon inhalation with positive pr

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure (in cm H2O)Timepoint: Oropharyngeal leak pressure will be measured at 3 times: after insertion and fixation of the device, 10 min after insertion and at the end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. First insertion success rate 2. Time to insert (in seconds) 3. No. of attempts for successful insertion 4. Fibreoptic bronchoscopic view of glottis through the supraglottic airway device 5. Post op. Complications (repeated episodes of cough, laryngospasm, desaturation) Timepoint: Time to Insert- Time between picking up the device and chest rise with PPV Fibre-optic bronchoscopic (FOB) view-breathing system will be briefly disconnected after insertion and confirmation of device and a 3-mm fiberscope will be inserted through the airway port to evaluate glottic view. Post-operative Complications- Blood stain on device (oropharyngeal trauma), repeated episodes of cough, laryngospasm, bronchospasm or desaturation will be noted after removal of device at the end of surgery
