Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess validity of COPUR scale in identifying children with difficult airwayTimepoint: COPUR scale noted during routine pre anesthetic evaluation(day 0). The next day, difficulty of intubation is evaluated during intra operative period(day 1).—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To observe the various intubation aids that facilitate the ease of endotracheal intubation & compare it with COPUR score obtainedTimepoint: COPUR score - during pre-anesthetic evaluation (Day 0) Aids for intubation - during intubation in the operation theatre (Day 1)—
