Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Success rate of intubation including first attempt success rate 2. Ease of intubationTimepoint: during tracheal intubation with LMA CTrach (one point assessment)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Presence of blood or blood stain on LMA CTrachâ?¢ and tracheal tube after its removalTimepoint: at the time of removal of LMA and extubation;The number and type of manipulations of LMA CTrachâ?¢ done to bring the tracheal tube tip and glottis in alignment during intubationTimepoint: At the time of tracheal intubation;The presence or absence of sore throat and hoarseness of voice during first 24 hours following surgery and its severityTimepoint: assessed at one point 24 hours following surgery and as reported by the patient at any point of time during these 24 hours;time taken from the beginning of insertion of tracheal tube till removal of LMA CTrach following successful intubationTimepoint: At the time of tracheal intubation
