 SGAs have been used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie. Patients were anaesthetised with intravenous induction agent, non-depolarising muscle relaxant and then SGAs were inserted. Two groups were compared. In group I : I-gel was inserted, its position was confirmed and then ventilating bougie was inserted through it. Its position was confirmed, then I-gel was removed , Endotracheal tube was railroaded over ventilating bougie and its position was confirmed. In group C : C-LMA was inserted, its position was confirmed and then ventilating bougie was inserted through it. Its position was confirmed, then C-LMA was removed , Endotracheal tube was railroaded over ventilating bougie and its position was confirmed.
