Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Intubation timeTimepoint: The time from insertion of the blade between the teeth until the first effective ventilation confirmed by capnography	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1)CORMACK & LEHANE Grading 2)No. of attempts of device insertion(maximum 2) defined as each time the device was removed past the gum or teeth 3)Glottic exposure time: time from introduction of laryngoscope from teeth/gum till visualization of glottis. 3)Optimization maneuvers required for intubation like BURP. 4)Vital parameters: Hemodynamic parameters like heart rate, Spo2 are to be noted. Timepoint: The time from insertion of the blade between the teeth until the first effective ventilation confirmed by capnography	—
