Response - NO
Brief Summary   Due to anatomic and physiological changes associated with aging, geriatric patients are more vulnerable to respiratory and hemodynamic complications during endotracheal intubation and extubation. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) example I gel minimize airway morbidity while increasing hemodynamic stability in adults.As a person matures, there is an increase in parapharyngeal fat, which increases the risk of airway collapse and apnea.There is increased incidence of malposition of supraglottic device in elderly.There is only limited literature comparing the clinical performance of I gel in geriatric patients.Thus the aim of the study is to compare the incidence of malposition of igel between Videolaryngoscopy guided technique of I-gel insertion and conventional blind insertion technique in elderly undergoing surgical procedures under general anaesthesia
