Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Ease of intubation will be assessed depending on 1.Time taken for intubation (TTI) 2.Number of attempts for endotracheal intubation. 3.Glottic view (Cormack &Lehane and POGO). 4.Need for other maneuvers like change of blade, patient position or applying external laryngeal pressure. Timepoint: All primary outcomes will be measured from the time of introduction of device in mouth to the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by a square wave capnogram on the monitor. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Electrocardiogram (ECG) and End tidal carbon (EtCO2 ) be monitored. 2.Any other intra or post operative findings and adverse events. Timepoint: 1.Hemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, DBP, SpO2, ECG, EtCO2) will be recorded at 1 minute interval during intubation and at 5 minute interval for 15minutes after intubation. 2. Intra or post operative findings and adverse events will be documented during and after endotracheal intubation and post extubation. | — |
