Blinding/Masking   Not Applicable 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Rise in IOP is lesser in the ILMA group. Hence intubation via ILMA should preferred in patients of glaucoma or open eye injury patients.  Baseline (Premedication room).
After endotracheal intubation (Group DL – by direct laryngoscopy, Group IL- through ILMA, before removal of the device).
2 min. and 5 min. after intubation.
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Use of ILMA for intubation is also associated with lesser rise in blood pressure and heart rate compared to that in intubation via laryngoscopy. Hence, it should be preferred in patients at risk of myocardial ischemia or stroke.  Baseline
Before induction
Before device or endotracheal tube insertion.
Just after endotracheal intubation.
2 min, 5 min., 7min, 10 min, 15 min and 30 min after endotracheal tube insertion.

Brief Summary   Endotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy is the commonest method of securing a definite airway in most of the surgeries that are performed under general anaesthesia. However, it is associated with stress responses due to increased sympathetic discharge that causes rise in intraocular pressure and tachycardia along with increase in blood pressure. Temporary rise in heart rate and blood pressure may not be a problem in a healthy individual but it may have deleterious effects in patients with hypertension, myocardial insufficiency or cerebrovascular disease. Acute rise in intraocular pressure can be hazardous in patients with glaucoma and penetrating eye injury where even small rise in intraocular pressure may convert critical disc perfusion into disc ischemia and extrusion of eye ball contents resulting in blindness. To avoid such complications, many attempts have been made to decrease the acute cardiovascular and ocular responses following laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Use of laryngeal mask airway is one such alternative to endotracheal intubation due to its minimal effects on haemodynamics and intraocular pressure.
