Brief Summary   This randomized controlled trial at AIIMS Gorakhpur compares the efficacy and safety of i-gel Plus® and LMA BlockBuster™ in adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to two groups (n=40 each). The primary outcome was oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP). Secondary outcomes included insertion time, number of attempts, hemodynamic changes, and postoperative complications. The study aims to guide the selection of an optimal supraglottic airway device for laparoscopic surgeries requiring effective airway sealing.
