- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) of Ambu AuraGain laryngeal mask and Proseal laryngeal mask airwayin patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.Timepoint: immediately after the placement of the device.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the overall efficacy of Ambu AuraGain and Proseal laryngeal mask airway by comparing the ease of insertion of device, ease of gastric tube placement, fibreoptic visualization, hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters, in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.Timepoint: 1. Ease of insertion of device, ease of gastric tube placement and fibreoptic visualization - will be observed immediately after the placement of device. <br/ ><br>2. Hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters - every minute till 15 minutes after the placement of device.
