Introduction: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are used to keep the upper airway open to provide unobstructed ventilation. I-gel is a second generation extraglottic airway device. SADs now provide successful rescue ventilation in > 90% of patients in whom mask ventilation or tracheal intubation is found to be impossible.The present study was carried to observe the hemodynamic changes following insertion of I-gel and to evaluate any incidence of post – operative sore throat or any other side effects.
