Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the total time taken for intubation of trachea with Endotracheal tube in Fiberoptic nasal intubation and Video Assisted Fiberoptic Nasal Intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airway.Timepoint: The total time taken for intubation will be noted from the time when the mask is removed from the patient till the appearance of six regular continuous square waves of capnogram.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) To assess the need for additional manoeuvres in the first attempt (jaw thrust, optimal external laryngeal manipulation & ETT rotation at the level of glottis during ETT insertion) 2) To compare the first pass success rate in the two techniques. 3) To compare the ease of operator during intubation in the two techniques.Timepoint: Intra operatively,After pre oxygenation, from the time the oxygen face mask is being removed till appearance of 6 continuous capnographic waves after nasal intubation
