Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess whether rotating head to the left side to 45 degree in supine position improves Cormack-Lehane glottic view during direct laryngoscopy in surgical patients under general anaesthesia as compared with the classic postion.Timepoint: 1 minute after suxamethonium is given | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The ease of intubation in left head rotation position,number of attempts & time taken for intubation,requirement of bougie for intubation,whether head is required to be turned back to classic position due to difficulty in intubation,incidence of trauma & the hemodynamic changesTimepoint: Ease of intubation will be assessed immediately after intubation, number of attempts & time taken for intubation are assessed immediately after intubation. Requirement of bougie for intubation will be assessed immediately at the end of intubation. Incidence of trauma will be checked at the end of surgery. Heart rate & mean arterial pressures will be checked just before induction, then at 1,3 & 5 min after intubation. | — |
