Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The ETT group had higher heart rate at 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes after insertion of airway device. ETT group had higher mean arterial pressure values starting from 1 minute after airway insertion till 5 minutes	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Airway insertion, insertion and gastric tube insertion were easier with I-Gel. Endotracheal tube provided higher oropharyngeal seal pressures	—
