Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare in two groups , 1. Time to intubation i.e., time from first entrance of ETT into the nasal cavity to the appearance of first ETCO2 curve. 2. First pass success i.e., frequency of successful NTI in first attemptTimepoint: 1 minute	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare in both the groups 1.Additional use of maneuvers/equipments (manipulation of blade, Magill?s forceps, BURP technique, neck flexion, tube manipulation, stylet, bougie or cuff inflation technique). 2.Incidence of impingement of tube with arytenoids/aryepiglottic fold. 3.Hemodynamic stress responses during laryngoscopy and intubation. 4.The trauma (Bleeding/Injury) to airway while intubation .Timepoint: 30 minutes	—
