Objective: The present study was done in paediatric patients to compare sevoflurane with propofol inductions for quality and ease of insertion of Laryngeal mask airway (LMA). Methods: The present prospective randomized study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Sixty premedicated patients of 3-12 years of age were randomly assigned to two equal groups. In propofol group, injection propofol 3mg/kg intravenous, and in sevoflurane group 6-7% sevoflurane inhalation in 4 lit/min O2 were given. Parameters of comparison were time of induction, time of successful insertion, insertion conditions, number of attempts, ease of insertion, hemodynamic parameter, and postoperative complications. All data were analyzed using paired t-test and chi-square test. P values calculated and P__ampersandsignlt;0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean time for induction was 45.93 __ampersandsignplusmn; 5.58 seconds for sevoflurane group and 45.2 __ampersandsignplusmn; 6.07 seconds for propofol group. Insertion time for sevoflurane group (106.7 __ampersandsignplusmn; 17.64 sec.) was higher than the propofol group (77.23 __ampersandsignplusmn; 22.73 sec.) with P value __ampersandsignlt;0.001, which was statistically significant. It was slight easier to insert LMA in sevoflurane group compared to propofol group. In sevoflurane group overall insertion condition was excellent in 76.66%, satisfactory in 20% and poor in 3.33% as compared to propofol group which was 66.66%, 26.66%, 6.66% respectively. The result was statistically not significant. Both groups exhibited stable hemodynamic profile. Post operative complications in both groups were not significant. Conclusion: Sevoflurane is an equally good alternative to propofol for insertion of LMA in paediatric patients.
