Patients will be divided into two groups according to supraglottic airway insertion method.

Both groups will record the insertion time of i-gel, number of trials, operative time, placement complications.

Recorded complications (blood, laryngospasm, etc.) during insertion and removal of supraglottic airway devices will be assessed.

Patients' postoperative sore throat will be questioned and recorded.

jaw-thrust

Other group

Description:

the i-gel was inserted with triple airway maneuver (mouth opening, head extension and jaw thrust) This groups will record the insertion time of i-gel, number of trials, operative time, placement complications. Recorded complications (blood, laryngospasm, etc.) during insertion and removal of supraglottic airway devices will be assessed. Patients' postoperative sore throat will be questioned and recorded.

Treatment:

Other: i-gel placement maneuvers

classic group

No Intervention group

Description:

In the classic group, the index finger used as a guide, pushes the back of i-gel towards the hard palate, inserting it into the pharynx till a resistance is felt and the i-gel is then fixed it its place. This groups will record the insertion time of i-gel, number of trials, operative time, placement complications. Recorded complications (blood, laryngospasm, etc.) during insertion and removal of supraglottic airway devices will be assessed. Patients' postoperative sore throat will be questioned and recorded.
