The aim of the study was to study effectiveness of inhalation sevoflurane with the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in children undergoing surgeries below umbilicus. Thirty premedicated children 3-12 years old with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status of I to II were enrolled and received induction with sevoflurane 7% by face mask and maintained with 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture followed by 1.7% sevoflurane with LMA. Demographic data, induction time, number of attempts, LMA insertion, removal and recovery times, haemodynamic parameters, complications, Aldrete score and child’s behaviour score were recorded. LMA insertion was successful at the first attempt in 93% with sevoflurane. LMA insertion, removal and recovery times were (1.26±0.36, 2.76±0.51, 5.16±1.6 minutes respectively). Perioperative minor complications were there. Recovery milestones including Aldrete score in the group was (9.03) t 5 minutes and comparable at 15 and 30 minutes. There was a greater incidence of excitatory phenomena with sevoflurane. Haemodynamics were studied. Sevoflurane provided short LMA insertion, removal and recovery times in children undergoing minor surgeries below umbilicus with little perioperative complications. Agitation was seen with sevoflurane.
