Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to compare Modified Mallampati Grade in supine and upright position with and without phonation in pediatric age group of 6-12 years during general anaesthesia at same timeTimepoint: to compare Modified Mallampati Grade in supine and upright position with and without phonation in pediatric age group of 6-12 years during general anaesthesia at same time—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To correlate Modified Mallampati Grade obtained in all four variations (Modified Mallampati Grade in sitting position with & without phonation & Modified Mallampati Grade in supine position with & without phonation) with Cormack and Lehane gradings to obtain their powers in predicting difficult laryngoscopic view in general anaesthesia cases at same timeTimepoint: To correlate Modified Mallampati Grade obtained in all four variations (Modified Mallampati Grade in sitting position with & without phonation & Modified Mallampati Grade in supine position with & without phonation) with Cormack and Lehane gradings to obtain their powers in predicting difficult laryngoscopic view in general anaesthesia cases at same time—
