Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare Time taken for laryngoscopy .Timepoint: Time between introduction of device in mouth till the clear view of glottis is obtained;To compare the Total time taken for intubationTimepoint: Time from introduction of device in mouth till first square wave capnograph is obtained;To compare the number of attempts for successful intubationTimepoint: Number of attempts taken till first square wave capnograph is obtained .;To compare the laryngeal view obtainedTimepoint: after obtaining clear laryngeal view during laryngoscopy;To compare hemodynamic parametersTimepoint: To compare hemodynamic parameters preoperatively,just before insertion, immediately after insertion, 1 minute, 5 minutes & 10 minutes after intubation;Any other complications- soft tissue oedema , dental trauma, bleeding from gums/ lips .Timepoint: during insertion of the device , during the surgical procedure .;Post operative Complications such as sore throat, stridor or hoarseness Timepoint: Complications such as sore throat, stridor or hoarseness to be noted after extubation for 12 hours .
