Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The success rate of I-Gel insertion will be assessed at first ventilationTimepoint: Optimal placement of the I-Gel® will be confirmed by visible expansion of the chest wall and the appearance of square waveform on capnograph and SP02 95% within 1 minute after first ventilation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The incidence rate of complications of I gel insertion in two groups after extubation.Timepoint: After removal, the I-Gel® will be inspected immediately within 1 minute for visible blood as indicative of mucosal injury. Presence or absence of sore throat & hoarseness among patients will be asked for & recorded postoperatively for 24 hours.
