Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare time of intubation of CRT and PVC endotracheal tube through kingvision videolaryngoscope during general anesthesia.Timepoint: T1-Time from insertion of videolaryngoscope in the mouth to optimal glottis view. T2-Time from obtaining an optimal glottis view to visual confirmation of ETT passing through glottis	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare a)ease of intubation b) optimization maneuvers c) airway adjuncts used d)complications between the two groups Timepoint: T3-Time of intubation T4-Imediate postoperative period at 30min	—
