Primary Endpoint
To assess whether rotating head to the left side to 45 degrees in supine position improves glottic view as assessed with POGO score during indirect laryngoscopy using C MAC video laryngoscope D blade under general anaesthesia as compared with the classic sniffing position.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to see whether rotating head to 45degree left will improve the glottic view as assessed with POGO score  while using C mac Blade D video laryngoscope.

The secondary objectives of the study include mutiple objectives like ease of nasal intubation in left lateral position ,number of attempts,duration of laryngoscopy,  use of external neck manipulation /Magills forceps/ cuff inflation incidence of trauma while intubation , haemodynamic changes during intubation will also be assessed.The patients included in the study are patients needing nasal intubation during the surgery.

exclusuion criteria includes patients who received post radiotherapy, nasal/oral or oropharyngeal cancers, carcinoma larynx.
