Interventions

Intervention1: Nasal MRI: Images of Nasal MRI will be evaluated for assigning the clearer nasal cavity after measuring the nasal cavity dimensions and after assessing the nasal anomalies.In MRI group

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients requiring nasal intubation for oro-maxillo-facial surgeries

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: patients with bleeding diasthesis, uncontrolled hypertension, previous nasal surgeries

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To find whether MRI will be able to identify clearer nasal cavity as compared to gold standard naso-endoscopy during the nasal cavity assessment.Timepoint: pre-operatively before nasal intubation	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To assess whether nasal cavity through which the naso-tracheal tube negotiate at the time of nasal intubation will agree with the more patent nasal cavity assigned by MRI or naso-endoscopy.Timepoint: After nasal intubation	—
