Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective is to compare the success rate of blind tracheal intubation at the first attempt between LMA Blockbuster and Air – Q ILA in patients with an anticipated difficult airway.Timepoint: At baseline, at the time of intubation and extubation, and at 2 hours after surgery.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Ease of insertion, the time and number of attempts taken to insert the SGAD, 1st attempt success rate, the grade of laryngeal view attained using a fibreoptic bronchoscope, time for successful intubation.Timepoint: At baseline and at the time of intubation;To assess the incidence of other airway related complications like sore throat, trauma, laryngospasm and bronchospasm in the perioperative period.Timepoint: At the time of extubation and at 2 hours after surgery.—
