Comparison of two techniques for introducing tube into the trachea of patients given general anaesthesia for routine surgeries, using a device called video laryngoscope (C-MAC)- with and without a tracheal introducer called bougie.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients with age 18-60 years undergoing elective surgery in JIPMER, belonging to ASA class 1-2 planned for general anaesthesia with orotracheal intubation will be included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant women 2. Patients with aspiration risk and those requiring rapid sequence induction 3. Patients planned for awake fiber-optic or nasal intubation 4. Patients with difficult airway which includes mouth opening less than 3 centimetres, Mallampatti class 3 or more, thyromental distance less than 6 centimetres, restricted neck extension. 5. Patients not willing for the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the time taken for intubation by anaesthesia residents using C-MAC C-blade video laryngoscope-with bougie and without bougie guided endotracheal tube.Timepoint: Duration in seconds. The time for intubation will be recorded as the interval between the introduction of C-MAC C-blade into the patients mouth to the appearance of End tidal carbon dioxide trace in the monitor. It is done during intubation under general anaesthesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the need for external laryngeal maneuvers and the number of times of repositioning of C-MAC C-blade needed for each technique.Timepoint: It is done during intubation of trachea.;To assess and compare postoperative pharyngolaryngeal complaints of the patients.( sore throat, throat pain, dysphonia, dysphagia) and To record any episodes of desaturation.Timepoint: Patient will be reviewed 24 hours after the surgery to assess for presence of sore throat, throat pain, dysphonia or dysphagia.;To assess and compare the hemodynamic responses associated with each technique. {Heart rate(HR), Blood pressure(BP)}Timepoint: Baseline heart rate and blood pressure in beats per minute and millimetres of mercury respectively is noted before induction, then every one minute from the time of intubation for 5 minutes.;To compare the laryngoscopy time in each technique. Timepoint: Duration in seconds. Time for laryngoscopy is recorded as the time interval between the introduction of C-MAC C-blade into the patients mouth to the visualisation of glottis in the screen. It is done during intubation under general anaesthesia.;To compare the number of attempts at redirection of the tube and the number of failed intubations in each technique.Timepoint: The number of failed intubation and the number of times of tube redirection is noted during intubation.;To compare the user review regarding the ease of intubation in each technique.Timepoint: The intubators opinion regarding the ease of intubation is assessed using an ordinal scale. 1- very easy, 2- easy, 3- moderately difficult, 4- very difficult. It is done after intubation.
