Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of Difficult Intubation Timepoint: Number of difficult tracheal intubations as a percentage (%) among all the cases of tracheal intubations done in the study population using the criteria for difficult intubation. Tracheal intubation was classified as difficult if one or more of the criteria was present. 1) Cormack Lehane classificaton 3-4 2) Use of intubating aids like bougie, Frova, Mccoy Laryngoscope, alternative technique of intubation 3) Laryngoscopy attempts more than 2 4) Laryngoscopy time more than 5 minutes | — |
