In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to compare two commonly used airway devices (I-gel and Air-Q) in children aged 1-10 years undergoing general anesthesia for surgery. These devices help doctors keep the airway open and support breathing during the operation. The study will evaluate how well each device works, how easy they are to place, and whether they cause air to enter the stomach. Ultrasound will be used to safely check the position of the device and detect any air in the stomach. The results of this study may help improve the safety and effectiveness of airway management in children during anesthesia.
