Conditions

Health Condition 1: null- All participants will be either ASA ( American Society of Anaesthesiologists) grade 1 or 2.

Interventions

Intervention1: Blockbuster Laryngeal Mask Airway: Will be used to maintain the patency of airway during general anaesthesia. The device will be inserted only after the induction of anaesthesia. Contro

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The following patients would be included for the study 1. Age group of 18 to 60 years 2. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I and II 3. Patients undergoing elective surgery requiring general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The following patients would be included for the study 1. Morbid obesity BMI > 35 kg/m2 2. Patients with anticipated difficult airway (Airway Difficulty Score >8) 3.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the success rate of tracheal intubation with BlockBuster and Fastrach Laryngeal Mask Airway.Timepoint: immediately after the placement of the device	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare insertion success rates of two Laryngeal Mask Airwayâ??s, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fiberoptic visualization of glottis, hemodynamic parameters and post-operative complication if any. Timepoint: 1. Ease of insertion of device, ease of use of gastric tube placement and fiberoptic visualization- will be observed immediately after the placement of the device. 2. Hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters- every minute till 15 min after the placement of device.	—
