Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: ASA 1 and ASA 2 patients undergoing general anaesthesia undergoing elective neurosurgical population

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
ultrasound upper airway parameters are measured in the preoperative holding area after consent on patients undergoing elective neurosurgical proceduresTimepoint: ultrasound upper airway parameters are measured in the preoperative holding area 30 minutes prior to shifting the patient inside the operation theatre after consent on patients undergoing elective neurosurgical procedures—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
comparison of ultrasound airway parameters with cormacke lehane grading of intubationTimepoint: post intubation ultrasound upper airway parameters are compared to cormacke lehane grading of intubation to establish difficulty—
