Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the success rate of first attempt of nasotracheal intubation between VL-FS Group and VL-Only Group VL-FS Group- Video laryngoscope combined with Flexible scope intubation VL-Only Group- Video laryngoscope intubation only Timepoint: First, baseline vitals will be recorded for the patient after shifting to OT. Second after first attempt successful intubation measured from insertion of device till confirmation by capnography. Third, if first attempt failed and more attempts were required and if there was any change in technique. All assessments will be done intra-operative.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To compare the number of attempts for successful nasotracheal intubation between VL-FS group & VL-Only group. 2.To compare the time to successful intubation which is time taken from passing blade to cuff inflation of endotracheal tube between VL-FS group & VL-Only group. 3.To compare the ease of intubation between VL-FS group & VL-Only group. Timepoint: All secondary outcomes will be assessed intraoperatively during the intubation procedure immediately after induction of anesthesia.—
