Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the quality (ease, number of attempts, time taken) of I-gel insertion between either groupsTimepoint: Baseline outcomes compared between both groups during I-gel insertion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the haemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, DBP) before & after I-gel insertion between either groupsTimepoint: Baseline, immediately & after 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes & 10 minutes of I-gel insertion;To compare the incidence of post-operative sore throat after I-gel insertion between either groups Timepoint: Immediately & after 24 hours of I-gel insertion
