Primary

Measure	Time frame
To determine if Ultrasonography tool is a faster method of confirming correct placement of endotracheal tube compared to capnography and chest auscultation.Timepoint: At the time of laryngoscopy,after intubation,at the end of first capnography wave,sixth capnography wave,after chest auscultation	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To determine if usg tool could guide the endotracheal tube towards the trachea if going towards oesophagusTimepoint: At the time of laryngoscopy,after intubation,at the end of first capnography wave,sixth capnography wave,after chest auscultation	—
