Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the efficacy of various ultrasound measurements of upper airway in predicting difficult laryngoscopy and intubation preoperatively To observe whether correlation exist between different preoperative ultrasound parameters and Intubation difficulty scale (IDS).Timepoint: The data obtained will be analysed once the study is over and a relation between the ability of ultrasound to predict a difficult intubation will be compared with actual difficult intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To observe whether correlation exist between different preoperative ultrasound parameters and Intubation difficulty scale (IDS).Timepoint: After intubation is over
