Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the incidence of the proper positioning of Laryngeal Mask Airway using two different different techniques in ultrasonography Timepoint: T0-immediately after LMA insertion -for initial assessment of placement T1-Recorded at first ventilation confirmation at 1-2 minutes after insertion T2-Recorded 5 minutes after insertion for evaluating position retention

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A) To observe the time taken to perform each of the ultrasound techniques after inserting LMA B)To find correlation if any between postoperative sorethroat & hoarseness and different grades of positioning of LMATimepoint: A) T0-Time recorded from from placing the ultrasound probe on the skin to identifying the position of the arytenoids or the cuff tip. B) Postoperative sorethroat & hoarseness if any will be recorded for every 10 minutes upto 1 hour & for every 30 minutes upto 3 hours & every 1 hour for upto 24 hours after removing the laryngeal mask airway & will be correlated with different grades of positioning of LMA
