- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary objective is to compare the success rate of placement of I-gel (SGAD) using the Airway Exchange Catheter (AEC) technique with Asai’s technique in patients with an unanticipated difficult airway.Timepoint: At 1 min after the successful insertion of I-gel using either of the 2 techniques, FOB will be performed to grade the view of the laryngeal inlet
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary outcomes which will be evaluated are the haemodynamic changes, the time & number of attempts taken to insert the I-gel, 1st attempt success rate, the grade of laryngeal view attained using a fibreoptic bronchoscope, the incidence of other airway-related complications like sore throat, trauma, laryngospasm & bronchospasm in the perioperative period.Timepoint: Haemodynamics will be monitored at 1 min, 5min & 10min after insertion of the I gel <br/ ><br>Post operative sore throat will be assessed at 30 min, 1 hour & 24 hours post operative period
