Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Measurement of oropharyngeal leak pressure (in cm H2O) of the satisfactorily placed supraglottic airway device, using a handheld aneroid manometer (Portex Pressure Gauge)[After insertion of supraglottic airway device];Ease of insertion of gastric tube through the supraglottic airway device's gastric drain outlet.<br>Ease of insertion will be graded on a scale of 1 (easy), 2 (acceptable), 3 (difficult), and recorded in the data collection sheet.<br>[After insertion of supraglottic airway device]
