A number of supraglottic airways have been developed to facilitate the passage of tracheal tubes. Various studies have been conducted using air-Q ILA as a conduit for endotracheal intubation. Ambu AuraGain is a newer 3 rd generation supraglottic airway device. There are limited studies available in literature on blind tracheal intubation through the Ambu AuraGain. This study was designed to compare air-Q ILA and Ambu AuraGain as conduit for blind tracheal intubation using Parker flex tip tube.
