- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the incidence of malposition of I-gel (by assessing the fiberoptic score) between blind and macintosh laryngoscope guided insertion, in anaesthetized adults. <br/ ><br>To compare mean oropharyngeal leak pressure between blind and macintosh laryngoscope guided insertion groups.Timepoint: Time for placement of SGA device in seconds at baseline.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare insertion characteristics (ease of insertion, number of attempts) in both the groups. <br/ ><br>To determine any difference in hemodynamic changes (BP, HR, SPO2). <br/ ><br>To determine incidence of complications (laryngospasm, tissue trauma, nerve injuries) if any, in both the groups.Timepoint: Time required for successful insertion of SGA in seconds at baseline.
