Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the success rates of the modified grip with the control group (standard grip) in terms of number of attempts (upto two) and then requirement of assistance or aids to perform endotracheal intubation.Timepoint: Assessment done only once.(Ist time point)after Anaesthetic induction during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) To calculate the time required in each grip [From introduction of ETT into mouth to 1st EtCO2 graph reading] 2) To compare the hemodynamic parameters (HR and BP) in two groups [from laryngoscopy till 5 min after intubation] Timepoint: 1. Baseline 2. Laryngoscopy for CL grading 3. At the completion of intubation marked by appearance of ETCO2 trace—
