| Variables | Group B | Group F | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time for LMA insertion(s) (mean±SD) | 12.2±1.5 | 12.1±1.5 | 1 |
| Ease of insertion (I/II/III/IV) | I/II (12:18) | I/II (16:14) | 0.8 |
| Time for intubation(s) (mean±SD) | 18±3 | 32±4 | 0.001 |
| Time for removal of LMA(s) (mean±SD) | 33±2 | 45±4 | 0.001 |
| First pass successful intubation (%) | 90 (27/30) | 66.6 (20/30) | 0.028 |
