- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To note the intracuff pressure and maintain it less than 44 mm of Hg (60 cm of water)Timepoint: Immediately after supraglottic device insertion and cuff inflation and every 15 mins thereafter
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1.To measure the incidence and severity of post-operative sore-throat at 24 hours in patients undergoing procedures with a supraglottic airway device using a 10 point numerical scale. This can be classified using a Likert scale as- <br/ ><br>Mild- NRS 1-3 <br/ ><br>Moderate-NRS 4-6 <br/ ><br>Severe- NRS 7-10 <br/ ><br>2.Other complications like hoarseness of voice, dysphagia or any other complications at 24 hours will also be noted. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 24 hours after the procedure
