Brief Summary

Supraglottic airway devices are integral part of general anaesthesia and various anatomical landmarks are being studied as a tool for selection of appropriate size of I-gel. Weight based selection of i-gel may not be suitable for underweight or overweight children and in immobilized or unconscious patients.  Hence, first attempt success rate of insertion of igel will be compared among two groups - thenar eminence based and standard weight based among paediatric patients.
