Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The ultrasound will be done on the anterior neck with linear probe 6-13Hz in 3 standard image planes and assessment done on a score of 0 to 6 as suggested by Song et al (2016) in their study.Angle of rotation of the i-gel will be assessed by ultrasound examination of the anterior neck and observing level of arytenoids and vocal cords as done by Kim et al (2015). Confirmation of i-gel position will be done with fibreoptic laryngoscopyTimepoint: Ultrasound of anterior neck will be done immediately after induction of general anesthesia and I gel placement Confirmation with fibre optic laryngoscopes will be done after ultrasound of anterior neck

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of reinsertion of i-gel when ultrasound evaluation shows inadeqaute placement of i-gel.Also Evaluation of improvement in ventilation with reinsertion.Timepoint: Measurement of expired tidal volume, peak airway pressure, plateau airway pressure and oropharyngeal leak pressure after i-gel insertion
