Brief Summary

The study is randomized interventional study comparing the ease of intubation of Blockbuster ET Tube versus Microcuff ET Tube using Blockbuster LMA  in young children aged between 1 year to 5 years by measuring the mean time duration of intubation, number of attempts for successful intubation and percentage of failed intubation in 72 children (36 in each group) as the primary outcome. As the secondary outcome mean tracheal seal pressure will be measured in two groups and percentage of side effects like sore throat, laryngospasm and cough after extubation. The will be conducted in Department of Anaesthesiology, JK Loan hospital, sms medical college and hospital, Jaipur
