Summary:
Some previous studies have reported structural and physiological changes in the pharyngeal airway and UES with aging . It has been found that the shape and size of the pharyngeal airway in elderly individuals differ from those of young adults. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Air-Q laryngeal mask airway (LMA) across different age groups (young, middle-aged, and elderly patients) and to evaluate complications associated with supraglottic airways (SGA).

Primary Outcome Measures: Measurement of oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), One minute after successful LMA placement and fixation, oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) will be measured by setting the adjustable pressure limiting valve (APL) to 40 mmHg and maintaining a fresh gas flow of 3 L/min. The OLP will be recorded as the pressure at which an audible leak sound is heard from the mouth., One minute after successful LMA placement
Secondary Outcome Measures: SP Air-Q insertion time, Successful LMA placement will be confirmed by visualizing a square waveform on the ventilator and observing chest wall movement., 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia|ease of LMA placement, The ease of LMA placement will be scored by the anesthesiologist on a scale from 1 to 4 (1: Successful on the first attempt with no resistance from the tissues; 2: Successful on the first attempt but with some tissue resistance during placement; 3: Moderate tissue resistance; 4: Failure to place the LMA)., 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia|maneuvers required for successful ventilation, It will be recorded whether any further maneuvers are required: Gentle pushing or pulling of the LMA to adjust its depth, jaw-thrust maneuver, and flexion or extension of the head., 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia|fiberoptic view grading, The Brimacombe score will be used to evaluate the view obtained with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. 1: Vocal cords are not visible; 2: Vocal cords and anterior epiglottis are visible; 3: Vocal cords and posterior epiglottis are visible; 4: Vocal cords are visible., 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia|Complications during SP_Air-Q removal (emerge), such as breath-holding during emergence, airway obstruction, coughing, hypoxia (SpO2 \< 90%), vomiting, lip-tongue-teeth trauma, and bleeding, will be recorded, One minute after SP Air-Q removal|sore throat, Postoperative complication, 1-24 hours postoeratively|dysphonia, Postoperative complication, 1-24 hours postoeratively
