Overview
Brief Summary
The present study focuses on comparing the time taken for intubation of trachea via fiberoptic nasal intubation versus Videolaryngoscopic Assisted Fiberoptic Intubation(VAFI) in patients with anticipated difficult airway. We hypothesize that the VAFI technique is equivalent to fiberoptic nasal intubation when used as a sole technique in patients with anticipated difficult airway.

Time Frame: The total time taken for intubation will be | noted from the time when the mask is removed from the patient till the appearance of six regular | continuous square waves of capnogram.
Secondary Outcomes
- 1) To assess the need for additional manoeuvres in the first attempt (jaw thrust, optimal external(laryngeal manipulation & ETT rotation at the level of glottis during ETT insertion))
