TI  - Does Baska mask deserve its own niche among extraglottic airway devices? A 
      prospective, single-arm study.
PG  - 603-608
LID - 10.4103/ija.ija_997_21 [doi]
AB  - BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A variety of extraglottic airway devices (EADs) are 
      available. Main concerns with EADs are protection against aspiration and ability 
      to ventilate patients with high airway pressures. Baska mask meets these criteria 
      and is the only third-generation device available for clinical use. METHODS: 
      After institutional ethics committee approval and informed consent were obtained, 
      this prospective study was performed in 100 adult patients undergoing surface 
      surgeries at a tertiary referral centre. The primary outcome was the success rate 
      of insertion, while the secondary outcomes were the sealing pressure, stability 
      of the device and the perioperative complications of Baska mask. We then compared 
      it with other currently used EADs. RESULTS: The first attempt at insertion and 
      overall success rates, showed values of 81% and 98%, respectively. Insertion was 
      quick (median 12; interquartile range [IQR] 9-15 s). The mask sealing pressure, 
      was 35 cmH(2)O (median [IQR 20-50 cmH(2)O]). Also, the mask remained stable in 
      95% of patients intraoperatively. Sore throat and dysphagia were seen in 37% and 
      24% of patients, respectively. No patient had laryngospasm or desaturation at any 
      time. It compared favourably well with other EADs, while achieving higher sealing 
      pressures. CONCLUSION: We found that the Baska mask performs well with excellent 
      first attempt at insertion and overall success rates, higher sealing pressures 
      and minimal complications compared to currently used EADs in clinical 
      anaesthesia.
