Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and accuracy of intubation prediction score versus Wilsons score for predicting difficult endotracheal intubationTimepoint: Assessment of parameters as per Wilsons score and intubation prediction score pre operatively in all patients for predicting difficult endotracheal intubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Relatively more accurate prediction of difficult intubation and avoidance of unanticipated difficult airwayTimepoint: Assessment of parameters as per Wilsons score and intubation prediction score pre operatively in all patients for predicting difficult endotracheal intubation | — |
