Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
percentage of successful blind endotracheal intubation in a single attempt.Timepoint: after placing lma followed by successful attempt of intubation will be recorded in the intraoperative period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
peak pressure, the number of attempts required for successful placement of SAD,the glottic view through fiberoptic bronchoscope, the time required to successfully intubate the patient.Timepoint: To be assessed after securing supraglottic device and endotracheal intubation.The post anesthesia related problems are to be assessed after surgery in the post anaesthesia care unit and after 24 hours after.
