Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ASA I or II, Age 18 - 60 years, both sex, patients with normal airway parameters, patients who are posted for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia requiring oral endotracheal intubation
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with anticipated difficult intubation or difficult mask ventilation, Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac disorders where hemodynamic responses to intubation may not be tolerated, Patients with poor pulmonary reserve where early desaturation is expected, patients with active secreting adrenal tumors. Patients with large thyroid mass or other neck masses precipitating difficult airway, Patients with BMI > 30 kg/m2, Pediatric age group, pregnant females, C-spine fracture or other cervical disorders with restricted neck movement or unstable cervical spine, faciomaxillary injury or anomalies, abnormalities of airway like burn contractures and cleft lip/palate, TMJ ankyloses, Unwillingness to give consent
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hypothesized that channeled video laryngoscope would provide better visualization in lesser time and safer for use in conditions of simulated difficult airway with rapid sequence induction intubation requiring cricoid pressure as compared to non-channeled video laryngoscope and conventional laryngoscope.Timepoint: preoperative period to oral endotracheal intubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| this study can be useful for intubating patients with difficult airway parameters in the longrunTimepoint: preoperative period to oral endotracheal intubation | — |
