Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the most reliable predictor of difficult TEE probe insertion among the selected parameters (neck circumference, POGO score, mouth opening, hyomental distance, sternomental distance).Timepoint: (a)- During pre-anesthetic chekup (b)- before intubation (c)-During TEE Probe insertion—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To assess the association between age & difficulty of TEE probe insertion. 2.To assess the association between gender & difficulty of TEE probe insertion. 3.To assess the association between BMI & difficulty of TEE probe insertion. 4.Assessment of manoeuvres used in case of difficult TEE probe insertion. 5.To record number of insertion attempts, insertion time (from probe entry to successful placement). 6.Complications if any (mucosal injury, bleeding, hemodynamic instability, etc).Timepoint: (a)- During pre-anesthetic chekup (b)- before intubation (c)-During TEE Probe insertion—
