Sponsor's own description

The primary objective of study was to compare insertion ease by standard and rotational LMA insertion technique on basis of LMA insertion attempts and insertion time duration. The secondary objective of study was to analyse impact of prior information for airway device, insertion techniques, general or specific work experience in airway management with ease of both insertion techniques. And, tertiary objective of study was to analyse the trainee's preference insertion technique on basis of learning method and practical adaptability.

Hypothesis:

The rotational LMA insertion technique is easy to understand and practice than the standard LMA insertion technique at the beginning of airway management training among the novice anesthesiologists.
