- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the time taken for intubation,by two methods of airway anaesthesia namely airway nerve blocks and topical spray-as-you-go technique for anaesthesia in the performance of awake nasotracheal intubation using flexible videoscope in anticipated difficult airway.Timepoint: 1)Time to vocal cord visualization <br/ ><br>2)Time to tracheal intubation <br/ ><br>3)Total time of nasotracheal intubation <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>
