Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 18-45 years parturient with period of gestation more than 37 weeks ASA II and III with singleton pregnancy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare ultrasound-based airway assessment parameter- Anterior soft tissue thickness at level of epiglottis (ANS-E) in pre-eclamptic and normotensive parturients. Timepoint: Ultrasound is used to asses airway parameter- Anterior soft tissue thickness at level of epiglottis (ANS-E) in pre-eclamptic and normotensive parturients.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To Compare Ultrasound-Based Airway Assessment Parameters (Hyo-Mental Distance in Neutral Head Position, Tongue Thickness, Pre-E/E-VC, Subglottic Diameter.Timepoint: To compare the ultrasound based airway assessment parameters in pre-eclamptic and normotensive parturients.;To Compare Clinical Airway Assessment (Inter Incisor Distance, Modified Mallampati Class, Hyo-Mental Distance, Neck Circumference, Neck Movement and Upper Lip Bite Test) Parameters in Pre-Eclamptic and Normotensive Parturients.Timepoint: To compare the clinical airway assessment in pre-eclamptic and normotensive parturients. ;To correlate these ultrasound based airway findings with clinical predictors of difficult airway (MMP greater than 3).Timepoint: To draw correlation between ultrasound based airway assessment with clinical predictors of difficult airway.
