Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Time taken for endotracheal intubation. Number of attempts taken for successful endotracheal intubation.Timepoint: Time for intubation will be monitored from the time of laryngoscopy till the endotracheal tube position is confirmed. Number of attempts for successful intubation will be monitored.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Hemodynamic variations during endotracheal intubation. 2. Trauma to the structures of oral cavity during laryngoscopyTimepoint: 1. Hemodynamic variations from the time of laryngoscopy to 10minutes after intubation will be monitored. 2. Trauma to the structures of oral cavity during laryngoscopy	—
