Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Reverse Insertion Technique  Standardised anaesthesia protocol will be followed. Patient shall be induced with inhalational anaesthetic agent. After securing I. V. line, propofol and fentanyl shall be administered. Adequate bag and mask ventilation will be checked and atracurium will be given. The size of I-gel will be decided on the basis of patient body weight. Before insertion cuff will be lubricated using a water based lubricant. The lubricated I-gel will be grasped along the integral bite block. Patient will be positioned in sniffing the morning position. I-gel will be inserted with its concavity facing the hard palate like a Guedel’s airway. On reaching pharynx device will be rotated 180 degrees and advanced along the palate until a definitive resistance is felt. The device will be connected to the breathing circuit. Effective ventilation will be defined as the presence of square wave end tidal carbon dioxide waveform and simultaneous bilateral chest expansion.The following manoeuvres will be done in sequential manner to improve ventilation: 1. Chin lift 2. Jaw thrust 3. Head extension 4. Neck flexion 5. Gentle advancement 6. Withdrawal of I-gel will be done to improve ventilation. If the ventilation is not found to be effective even after the manoeuvres, the device shall be taken out and second attempt with a different size I-gel will be taken. The decision to increase or decrease the size of I-gel will be made by attending anaesthesiologist based on clinical judgement. When two attempts with the same technique fail, technique of other group will be used as a rescue technique with the initial I-gel size. Finally if third attempt fail, tracheal intubation shall be performed to secure the airway. After the completion of surgical procedure, standard reversal protocol of the institution shall be followed and patient will be reversed using neostigmine and glycopyrrolate and I-gel shall be removed and examined for presence of blood.  
Comparator Agent  Triple Airway Manoeuvre  Standardised anaesthesia protocol will be followed. Patient shall be induced with inhalational anaesthetic agents. After securing I. V. line, propofol and fentanyl shall be administered. Adequate bag and mask ventilation will be checked and atracurium will be given. The size of I-gel will be decided on the basis of patient body weight. Before insertion cuff will be lubricated using a water based lubricant. The lubricated I-gel will be grasped along the integral bite block. An assistant shall apply triple airway manoeuvre i.e. head tilt, mouth opening and Jaw thrust. I-gel will be introduced in oral cavity with its concavity facing the mandible, then it will be pushed posteriorly while advancing along the hard palate, soft palate until a definitive resistance is felt. The device will be connected to the breathing circuit. Effective ventilation will be defined as the presence of square wave end tidal carbon dioxide waveform and simultaneous bilateral chest expansion. The following manoeuvres will be done in sequential manner to improve ventilation: 1. Chin lift 2. Jaw thrust 3. Head extension 4. Neck flexion 5. Gentle advancement 6. Withdrawal of I-gel will be done to improve ventilation. If the ventilation is not found to be effective even after the manoeuvres, the device shall be taken out and second attempt with a different size I-gel will be taken. The decision to increase or decrease the size of I-gel will be made by attending anaesthesiologist based on clinical judgement. When two attempts with the same technique fail, technique of other group will be used as a rescue technique with the initial I-gel size. Finally if third attempt fail, tracheal intubation shall be performed to secure the airway. After the completion of surgical procedure, standard reversal protocol of the institution shall be followed and patient will be reversed using neostigmine and glycopyrrolate and I- gel shall be removed and examined for presence of blood.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare both the techniques in term of Mean insertion time.  Insertion time will be calculated when the operator picks up the I-gel to the formation of square wave capnography on monitor.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Number of attempts
2. Ease of insertion
3. Ease of placement of nasogastric tube.
4. Postoperative complications like presence or absence of blood, sore throat, hoarseness. 
1. Till correct placement of I-gel with effective ventilation.
2. Till end of I-gel placement.
3. Till end of I-gel placement.
4. Presence or absence of blood on I-gel will be assessed at the end of extubation on I-gel, sore throat and hoarseness shall be examined at 2hr, 4hr, 6hr after extubation.

Brief Summary   This study is to compare triple airway manoeuvre and reverse insertion technique for I-gel placement in paediatric patients under general anaesthesia.The aim is to study both the techniques in term of mean insertion time, first attempt success rate, number of attempts required for successful placement, overall success rate, ease of insertion, ease of placement of nasogastric tube and postoperative complications.
