Brief Summary

This Study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of Midazolam administration before induction on the ease of face mask ventilation in patients with normal airway. Primary outcome assessed would be difficulty of face mask ventilation assessed by Warters grading scale after study drug administration. Other outcomes assessed would be Incidence of difficult mask ventilation (Warters scale >2) after study drug administration, Anxiety and sedation levels before and after study drug administration: assessed by Numerical Rating Scale & Modified Observer’s Assessment of Alertness / Sedation Scale, respectively.Dose of propofol required for induction of anaesthesia,

Bispectral index (BIS) values measured during mask ventilation after study drug administration, Correlation between BIS values and Warters scale during mask ventilation after study drug administration and adverse effects like incidence of hypotension or bradycardia during study period.
