Brief Summary

The  aim and objectives of the thesis is to evaluate and compare endotracheal intubation through two supraglottic airway devices, Air Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway and Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway as intubation conduit in patients with simulated fixed cervical spine.  Adult patient, 18 to 60 years of age of either sex, ASA physical status I and II, scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia requiring intubation. Total of 88 patients, 44 in each group will be studied. The success rate of intubation in both the groups, time taken for intubation, number of attempts, fiberoptic grading, haemodynamic changes and complications if any will be assessed. Data will be compiled and appropriate statistical test will be done to analyse the result.
