- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the airway using various ultrasonographic parameters and compare them with the Cormack-Lehane grading.Timepoint: Before Induction and at the time of induction
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The objective is to measure tongue volume, anterior neck soft tissue thickness at the level of anterior commissure of vocal cord, measurement of hyomental distance in neutral and in extended position of neck and ratio of these two will be calculated and to compare these ultrasonic parameters for correlation with the Cormack-Lehane grading observed under direct laryngoscopy during general anaesthesia.Timepoint: Before Induction and at the time of induction
