Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Patients posted for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia with oro-tracheal intubation. 2.Patients belonging to American society of anaesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) I and II

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient with known predictors of difficult intubation. 2. BMI >30 KG/M2 3. Previous history of difficult intubation. 4. Failure to visualise glottic aperture in first attempt,or 5. Use of second attempt for tracheal intubation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure the time required to detect endotracheal tube placement by transtracheal ultrasonography and capnographyTimepoint: To measure the time required to detect endotracheal tube placement by by transtracheal ultrasonography and capnography

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the reliability of transtracheal ultrasonography and capnography to detect the correct placement of endotracheal tube.Timepoint: The appearance of 6 squared waveforms of more than 4mm of Hg in capnography confirms the correct placement of endotracheal tube which is measured in second from the time of beginning of intubation till the capnographic confirmation.
