Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. POGO score The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score corresponds to the percentage of the glottis visualized during laryngoscopy. A 100% value denotes visualization of the entire glottis from the anterior commissure of the vocal cords to the inter-arytenoid notch. If none of the glottic opening is visualised , then the value is stated as 0%. Percentage of view of the glottic opening between 0-100% will be noted according to the view obtained with VL in each group. Timepoint: The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score shall be recorded in supine head flat position followed by head elevation of 4cm,6m and 8cm after induction of anaesthesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
2.Modified Cormack & Lehane score 3.Ease of insertion of videolaryngoscope 4.Need of optimization manoeuvres for facilitating ease of intubation 5.Intubation Difficulty Score 6.Number of Intubation attempts 7.Time to successful intubation 8.Failure to intubate 9.Angle of EAM-SN line in comparison to horizontal axis 10.Any complications during the test procedure Timepoint: Percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score shall be recorded in head flat supine position followed by head elevation of 4cm,6cm & 8cm after induction of anaesthesia.
