Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients of age 18- 65 years of age undergoing onco- surgery requiring general anaesthesia and supraglottic airway device (Proseal Laryngeal mask Airway, PLMA) as an airway management device will be recruited under this study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Unwilling patients. 2. Patients with unfavourable airway anatomy like patient undergoing head and neck surgeries precluding use of supraglottic airway device. 3. Patients at high risk of aspiration like bowel obstruction, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the use of ultrasonography as a suitable alternative to clinical assessment of PLMA for its accurate placement in patients.Timepoint: AFTER PLACEMENT OF PROSEAL LMA—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time taken for assessment for the correct placement of PLMA by clinical methods and ultrasonography (USG). Timepoint: intaoperatively we will determine the time taken for assessment;2. Malposition of PLMA at the end of procedure after positive pressure ventilation. Timepoint: AFTER COMPLETION OF PROCEDURE—
