Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
i-gel is supraglottic airway device which can be insetted by either standard, rotation or reverse techniques. Various insertion characterstics like time of insertion, first attempt success rate are compared in these three techniques of insertion of i-gel.Timepoint: specific characterstics of i-gel insertion by three different techniques will be compared at the end of the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Reverse and rotation techniques prevent tongue folding as compared to standard technique at the time of insertionTimepoint: insertion characterstics like first attempt success rate, oropharyngeal leak pressure, peak airway pressure, fibreoptic grades of placement are compared
