Brief Summary   General anaesthesia is a critical component of many surgical procedures, ensuring patient comfort and optimal conditions for surgeons. Among the various tools and drugs used in general anaesthesia, i-gel, a second generation supraglottic airway not only has an easier insertion but has also been reported to cause lesser airway morbidity. This will be a randomized clinical trial conducting to compare the effects of i-gel insertion conditions using dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia.
A total of 80 patients, ASA i/ii, aged 18-60 years undergoing general anaesthesia for elective surgical procedures, fulfilling the inclusion criteria and willing to give informed written consent will be enrolled. They will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A (patients will receive 0.5mcg/kg dexmedetomidine) and Group B (patients will receive 1mcg/kg fentanyl). I-gel insertion conditions with both the groups will be assessed and compared. Hemodynamic changes during i-gel insertion using both the groups will be determined and compared.
The data will be analysed using SPSS statistics software version 26. Student t-test will be used for comparisons between HR and MAP at each time point and Chi-square test will be used for categorical data.
