Brief Summary
One of the most dreaded complication of general anaesthesia is aspiration of gastric contents after induction of general anaesthesia.Many endeavours and measures have been practiced to reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia.One such method is to intubate the patient in semi-fowler or supine posture.My study is aimed to find out safe and best position between these two after induction of general anaesthesia to prevent aspiration pneumonia.
