Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| the total time required for successful intubation (total time from passage of the device into the oral cavity (Group D) and nostril (Group F) till first appearance of regular capnograph waveform).Timepoint: time for successful intubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare the percentage of glottis opening (POGO) obtained in both the groups. 2. To evaluate the ease of NTI with the two techniques of intubation by modified nasal intubation difficulty scaling (NIDS) Timepoint: Difficulty of intubation will be done by NIDS scoring in the operation theartre.Percentage of glottis opening will be an objective finding visualised on camera screen | — |
