Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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. | — |
