Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the first-attempt success rate of intubation using video laryngoscope and macintosh laryngoscope for patients with head injury posted for emergency craniotomy.Timepoint: from the time of induction, every minute for 5 minutes after intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Comparison of time to successful intubation 2. Evaluation of Cormack-lehane classification of laryngeal view, POGO (percentage of glottic opening) score and the Intubation Difficulty Score 3. Comparison of hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation 4. Evaluate the incidence of complicationsTimepoint: from the time of induction, every minute for 5 minutes after intubation
