Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the correlation between preoperative Ultrasonographic airway assessment of following parameters with laryngoscopic view (Cormack Lehane) 1. Ratio of depth of preepiglottic space (Pre-E) and distance from epiglottis to the midpoint of the distance between the vocal cords (E-VC) 2. Anterior soft tissue neck thickness at the level of hyoid (ANS-Hyoid) and vocal cords (ANS-VC)Timepoint: 1. Preoperative. 2. During laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To correlate physical parameters of airway assessment viz modified mallampati score, thyromental, hyomental, sternomental distances and neck mobility with laryngoscopic view ( Cormack Lehane)Timepoint: 1. Preoperative 2. During laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation.
