Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1)Distance between the tip of tube and carina will be measured using fiberoptic bronchoscopy (in mm) 2)5 point auscultation- a) Bilateral air entry equal in lungs b) Not equal Timepoint: baseline (just after intubation we measure the distance of tip of tube from carina using flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope )—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Time taken for fiberoptic bronchoscopy (in seconds) 2) Withdrawal or repositioning of endotracheal tube . (a) Yes ( b) No Timepoint: baseline (just after intubation we measure the distance of tip of tube from carina using flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope )—
