Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the incidence of gastric insufflation (air leak into the stomach) between two techniques.Timepoint: At baseline and immediately after endotracheal intubation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare change in gastric volume as calculated by ultrasound assessment of antral cross-sectional area (CSA) between two techniques. 2. To compare changes in the blood gas parameters (pH, PaO2 and PaCO2) at predefined time points [before surgery (T1), following pre-oxygenation and before induction of anaesthesia (T2) and after intubation before initiating mechanical ventilation (T3)] between two techniques. 3.To compare symptoms suggestive of gastric insufflation between two techniques. 4.To compare peristaltic contractions of gastric antrum between two techniques. 5. To find out the risk factor for gastric insufflation. Timepoint: First 24 hours postoperative period | — |
