| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To test the validity (Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value) of Acromio axillo suprasternal notch Index and Modified mallampati test in predicting “Difficult visualization of larynx ?.Timepoint: In pre anaesthetic clinic predictors will be assessed. In operation theatre direct laryngoscopy will be done to assess difficult visualisation of larynx. After one year of study, validity will be assessed statistically. | — |
