This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study aims to compare the placement accuracy of iGel and Air-Q sp3G supraglottic airway (SGA) devices in pediatric patients aged 1-8 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. Placement will be confirmed via fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and gastric insufflation will be assessed using ultrasound measurement of gastric antral cross-sectional area pre- and post-device placement. Secondary outcomes include postoperative complications such as sore throat, hoarseness and dysphagia.
