Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A i-Gel warmed to 40 degree Celsius before insertion, improves the airway sealing pressureTimepoint: Airway sealing pressure measured at 1 minute, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after insertion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A i-Gel warmed to 40 degree Celsius before insertion, reduces the number of attempts for and also the time required for successful insertionTimepoint: Measured once during insertion;Incidence of hoarseness and pharyngeal pain in the post - operative periodTimepoint: Measured at 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery
