Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Two groups will be formed , one based on pinna size of the patient and the other based on weight of the patient and then appropriate size of Igel will be selected based on these and oropharyngeal seal pressure will be measured.
