Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the time to successful intubation between Macintosh direct laryngoscopy with the VL3 video laryngoscopeTimepoint: Time to intubation time from insertion of laryngoscope blade passing the oral cavity until lung inflation and end tidal carbon dioxide waveform confirmation through endotracheal tube at baseline	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare The Modified Cormack- Lehan grading. The Percentage of glottic opening . Time to achieve best glottic view. Need for external manipulation. Number of attempts required for intubation. Ease of intubation. Tube repositioning. Timepoint: Time to achieve best glottic view time from blade passing oral cavity until the intubating resident s verbal announcement of that best glottic view for endotracheal intubation was achieved. Best glottic view will be based on the modified CL grading. Total time to successful tracheal intubation the sum of the individual intubation times determined the total time to successful tracheal intubation TTSI, if more than 1 attempt. Tube repositioning done will be noted.	—
