Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The GRS (global rating scale) of Fibreoptic nasal intubation will be assessed and evaluated by two anaesthesiology experts who have done more than 100 fibreoptic intubations using the video recordings of the Fiberoptic nasal intubation done by participants.Timepoint: During intubation	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The self-reported assessment using Likert scale will be filled by each participant after performing Fibreoptic nasal intubationTimepoint: After intubation;The self-reported assessment proforma using Likert scale after CBT will be filled by each participant after performing on allotted VR groupTimepoint: After virtual simulation training;The time to reach the carina is the time taken from entering the nostril to reaching 1-2 cms above carina which will be assessed by two anaesthesiology experts who have done more than 100 fibreoptic intubations using the video recordings of the fibreoptic nasal intubationTimepoint: During intubation;The Fibreoptic nasal intubation procedural checklist scores will be evaluated and assessed by two anaesthesiology experts who have done more than 100 fibreoptic intubations using the video recordings of the fibreoptic nasal intubationTimepoint: During intubation	—
