- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate airway and recognise difficult airway by using clinical parameters and ultrasound guided parameters. <br/ ><br>2. To assess the correlation between the finding of clinical parameters and ultrasound guided parameters with Cormackâ??Lehane grade on direct laryngoscopy. <br/ ><br>3. To calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of clinical parameter and ultrasound guided parameters in predicting difficult intubation.Timepoint: Time to intubate in seconds - 0-75 seconds <br/ ><br>Hemodynamic parameters in minutes upto 120 minutes every 5 minutes. <br/ ><br>Comparing the correlation between clinical parameters and ultrasound parameters at the end of study i.e 1 year
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Intubation time. <br/ ><br>Number of Intubation attempts. <br/ ><br>Alternative technique (video laryngoscope) or person used for intubation. <br/ ><br>Failed intubation. <br/ ><br>Glottic aperture to measure the size of tubeTimepoint: 1. Time to intubate: From time of insertion of laryngoscope to succesful tube insertion in seconds. <br/ ><br>2. Number of attempts: Total number of attempts take for succesful intubation 1,2 or 3 <br/ ><br>3. Change of equipment or person if any during procedure <br/ ><br>4. Failed attempts if any during procedure
