Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the usefulness of Acromioaxillo Suprasternal notch index (AASI) with that of Thyromental height test (TMHT) for predicting the difficult visualization of larynx during endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing general anaesthesia as assessed by Cormack â?? Lehane grading.Timepoint: pre operative period, during endotracheal intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare Acromioaxillo Suprasternal notch index (AASI) and Thyromental height test (TMHT) with modified Mallampati (MMP) score, upper lip bite test (ULBT), Sternomental distance (SMD), Thyromental distance (TMD) and neck circumference (NC).Timepoint: pre operative period and during endotracheal intubation
