Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate the effect of OPA on gastric insufflation during anaesthetic induction in paralyzed children for elective surgery under general anesthesia Timepoint: every month for one year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a) Determine the appropriate level of inspiratory pressure sufficient to provide adequate ventilation with or without an OPA a during facemask pressure-controlled ventilationTimepoint: every 2 months for one year;b) To compare time for appearance of comet tail on real time ultrasound (USG) between the two groupsTimepoint: every 2 months for 1 year;To compare hemodynamic parameters and ventilatory parameters between the two groups.Timepoint: every 2 months for one year
