Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: ASA physical class 1 and 2. BMI 18.5-29.9

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patientâ??s refusal to participate in the study. 2. Rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia. Patients requiring rapid-sequence intubation are already at high risk for aspiration; the airway should be rapidly secured with an endotracheal tube and not subjected to repeated or delayed assessment as might occur in the study. 3. Inability to open the mouth due to existing trauma or medical condition, preexisting neck or facial disease causing distortion of the airway, edentulous, and/or a history of difficult intubation. 4. Altered level of consciousness, confusion, or inability to follow commands 5. Preexisting limitation or pain with cervical spine movement.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.to observe relation between HM distance ratio and ease of laryngoscopy. 2.to determine utility of measurement of thickness of anterior neck soft tissue at the level of hyoid bone,thyrohyoid membrane in distinguishing difficult and easy laryngoscopies. 3.to study correlation between sonographic modification of CL Scoring with actual CL grading during direct laryngoscopy. 4.temporal comparison of real time ultrasound vs capnography and auscultation in confirmation of endotracheal placement.Timepoint: March 2016-June 2017
