Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This prospective and observational study will help us to compare the intubating conditions of cuff inflation technique versus magills forceps technique for nasotracheal intubation under direct laryngoscopy in adult patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia and will enable us to understand which technique is a superior ,hemodynamically stable and requires less duration, attempts for successful nasotracheal intubation and also have less incidence of complicationsTimepoint: The haemodynamic parameters including the heart rate (HR), oxygen Saturation (SpO2),systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) will be noted at the baseline, after intubation and at 1,3, 5, 7 and 10 min after intubation. Also other parameters will be noted like Time taken for intubation, Cormack-Lehane grading grading, the total numbers of attempts,use assistance like external laryngeal manipulation (ELM).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To understand which laryngoscopy with cuffinflation technique have less incidence ofcomplications like Sore throat Post operative complications like Nasal/oralbleeding , Hoarseness of voice.Timepoint: patient will be assessed for complications after extubation for next 24 hours
