Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This prospective study will enable us to understand which laryngoscopy is superior , hemodynamically stable and total duration for intubation , attempts for successful intubation and also have less incidence of complications.Timepoint: T1 (seconds) time taken for ETT introduction from selected nostril to oropharynx ,T2 (seconds) for laryngoscopy till passage of ETT into the vocal cords is noted. Heart rate (HR), oxygen Saturation (SpO2),systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) will be noted at baseline, after intubation ,at 1,3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes after intubation. Cormack-Lehane grading grading, numbers of attempts,assistance like external laryngeal manipulation (ELM) or Magill forceps will be noted

Secondary

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