Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare Intubation Time for the double lumen tube with either scopesTimepoint: Intubation time is defined as the time from which scope is inserted into the mouth till 6 capnographic cycles are seen. This will be measured by an independent observer ( an instrument technician	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) To compare hemodynamic response to intubation in both groups. â?? Value recorded in the monitors 2) To assess Intubation difficulty scale in both groups. Recognized grading system which will be recorded by the anaesthetist intubating the patientTimepoint: At the end of the each case.	—
