Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To validate focused airway sonography (FAS) and leakage test in diagnosing displaced/misplaced laryngeal mask airway against the fiberoptic laryngoscopyTimepoint: Immediately after placing LMA, leak test, ultrasound scan and fibroptic laryngoscopy done simultaneously | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare the time required for performing leakage test and FAS for evaluating LMA position 2. To compare the number of manipulations of LMA required based on leakage test and FAS examination 3.To compare the number of reinsertions required based on leakage test and FAS examination Timepoint: Secondary outcome assessed as soon as placing LMA, leak test, ultrasound scan and fibroptic laryngoscopy is done | — |
