Group-I
In Group-I, I-gel is to be used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie. Tracheal Intubation: Following general anaesthesia I-gel was inserted. After proper placement . ventilating bougie was inserted. Once it's placement is confirmed I-gel was removed keeping the ventilating bougie in situ. Then appropriate sized endotracheal tube was railroaded over ventilating bougie then it (v.bouggie) was removed . Proper placement of endotracheal tube was confirmed by bilateral equal chest excursion and air entry on auscultation, absence of gastric insuffflation sound over epigastrium and 'sine' wave on capnography. Maximum 3 attempts were allowed for I-gel, ventilating bougie and endotracheal tube.
Group-C
In Group-C, C-LMA is to be used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie. Tracheal Intubation: Following general anaesthesia C-LMA was inserted. Aftre proper placement ventilating bougie was inserted. It's placement was confirmed and C-LMA was removed after deflation of cuff keeping the ventilating bougie in situ. Then appropriate sized endotracheal tube was railroaded over ventilating bougie. It's placement was confirmed by bilateral equal air entry and chest excursion, absence of gastric insufflation sound over epigastrium and 'sine' wave on capnography. Maximum 3 attempts were allowed for C-LMA , ventilating bougie and endotracheal tube.
