Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the intubation time as time from introduction of video endoscope into nasal passage till endotracheal cuff inflation using split nasopharyngeal airway as a conduit and conventional method for awake video endoscope guided nasotracheal intubation.Timepoint: Measurement: Intubation time is defined as the duration from the introduction of the video endoscope into the nasal passage until endotracheal cuff inflation. Time Points: Start Time: Introduction of the video endoscope into the nasal passage. End Time: Endotracheal tube cuff inflation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the use of split nasopharyngeal airway as a conduit & conventional method for awake video endoscope guided nasotracheal intubation regarding: 1.Time taken for glottic visualization 2.Ease of insertion by a 3 point ordinal scale 3.Haemodynamic changes including HR, SBP, DBP, MBP, oxygen saturation 4.Cough Scale by Helbo-Hansen Cough ScaleTimepoint: Measurement: Time taken for Glottic Visualization This duration is defined as the time from the introduction of the video endoscope into the nasal passage until the glottis is visualized on the monitor. Time Points: Start Time: Introduction of the video endoscope into the nasal passage. End Time: Visualization of the glottis.
