        abstract = {Background: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion is a common practice in day care surgeries. Both sevoflurane and propofol are used for induction, but their effects on LMA
insertion conditions vary.
Methods: 50 surgical patients of age group 20 – 60 years, weight 50-70kg, of ASA Grade I and II, of either gender were planned for day care surgeries under general anesthesia using supraglottic airway device. They were divided into two groups of 25 each - Group P (n=25) received injection propofol 2 mg/kg intravenously and Group S (n=25) received volatile agent sevoflurane 0.5 -2%.
Results:  There were no significant differences in demographic variables between Group I and Group II, including age, height, weight, and gender distribution. Ease of LMA insertion was comparable in both groups (p = 0.46). However, Group I had a significantly shorter insertion time (p = 0.001). Post-insertion, Group I exhibited better cardiovascular stability, with significantly lower pulse rate (p = 0.012), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.004), and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.022). Oxygen saturation levels remained similar in both groups (p = 0.531). Overall, Group I demonstrated quicker insertion and better post-insertion hemodynamic stability.
Conclusion: The key findings of this study were that though the ease of insertion of LMA and the hemodynamic variables were comparable in both the groups, the time taken for the insertion of LMA was significantly earlier with the use of propofol.},
