Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the tracheal intubation with Air-Q Blocker and AuraGain in simulated difficult airway patients requiring general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation.Timepoint: immediately after the placement of device.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of Air-Q Blocker and Ambu AuraGain insertion success, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fibreoptic visualization of glottis, endotracheal intubation, haemodynamic parameters and postoperative sore throat. Timepoint: 1.insertion success of device, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fibreoptic visualization of glottis, endotracheal intubation will be observed immediately after the placement of device. 2.Haemodynamic and ventilatory parameters will be recorded at the time points- Baseline, after induction, just after device insertion and at 5, 10 and 15 minutes.
