Isoflurane Versus Propofol for Removal of LMA in Children

Summary

The study will be done in paediatric patients by comparing two different techniques of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) removal under deep anesthetic plane. The both study techniques will be compared for safe LMA removal on the basis of adverse airway events and emergence time duration and recovery room stay timing.
