Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the Hook method and single handed E and C technique of mask holding by novice for effective ventilation in adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia with respect to Mean exhaled tidal volume of 12 breaths in 1 minute Mean End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide of 12 breaths in 1 minute Timepoint: the mean of the exhaled tidal volume measured for 12 breaths in one minute (VTe), Mean End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide of 12 breaths in 1 minute (EtCO2 ) and the oxygen saturation (SpO2 ), for each breath during mask ventilation will be recorded before induction of anaesthesia | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the operator-reported comfort level for Hook method and single handed E and C technique of mask holding by novice for effective ventilation in adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia with respect to a 5- point likert scaleTimepoint: The operator comfort of the technique will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale by asking the airway providers to grade the technique after mask holding. | — |
