Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the degree of cervical spine motion indirectly measured through an inclinometer at best glottic view during intubation with different laryngoscopes.Timepoint: At neutral position and during best glottic view. study will end after the position of endotracheal tube is confirmed. this will be around 10-15 mins after induction of general anaesthesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
to compare the degree of cervical spine motion during successful mask ventilation,Timepoint: During mask ventilation immediately after induction of general anaesthesia.;the incidence of difficult endotracheal tube insertion at the best glottic viewTimepoint: At best glottic view during laryngoscopy immediately after performing laryngoscopy to visualise glottis for endotracheal intubation.;Intubation Difficulty Score in different laryngoscopesTimepoint: Immediately after intubation with endotracheal tube;To compare duration of intubation with different laryngoscopesTimepoint: immediately after successful endotracheal intubation
