Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To systematically evaluate and compare the efficacy of Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT) and Ratio of Height To Thyromental Distance (RHTMD) in predicting difficult endotracheal intubation with other airway assessments. efficacy will be assessed based on cormach and Lehne gradingTimepoint: Preoperative airway assessments will be done initially in the pre-operative ward which will predict the difficulty of intubation (5-6min) The Anaesthesiologist will do intraoperatively Laryngoscopy to assess Cormach and Lehne grading(15min)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To explore the efficacy of the Atlanto-occipital Joint Movement Test (AOJMT) in predicting difficult endotracheal intubation. the efficacy will be based on Cormack & Lehane gradingTimepoint: Preoperative airway assessments will be done initially in the pre-operative ward which will predict the difficulty of intubation (5-6min) Intraoperatively Laryngoscopy will be done by the Anaesthesiologist to assess the cormack & lehane grading (15min)
