Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of Ultrasonography as a utility in confirming optimal position of I-Gel in children. Timepoint: After induction of anaesthesia.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of ultrasonography as utility in identifying the cause of malposition of I-Gel (asymmetrical, caudad, cephalad, intraglottic placement, or epiglottis downfolding) and thereby guiding in correcting malposition of I-Gel placement.Timepoint: After induction of anaesthesia and after repositioning of I-gel.—
