- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the success rate of tracheal intubation with BlockBuster and Fastrach Laryngeal Mask Airway.Timepoint: immediately after the placement of the device
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare insertion success rates of two Laryngeal Mask Airwayâ??s, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fiberoptic visualization of glottis, hemodynamic parameters and post-operative complication if any. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 1. Ease of insertion of device, ease of use of gastric tube placement and fiberoptic visualization- will be observed immediately after the placement of the device. <br/ ><br>2. Hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters- every minute till 15 min after the placement of device.
