Study Overview
Brief Summary
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
To compare intubation difficulty scale score with C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope and McCoy laryngoscope for tracheal intubation with manual in line stabilization of neck in the study population.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
To compare total time taken to secure the airway, number of intubation attempts, ease of insertion of the laryngoscope and percentage of glottic opening score with C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope and McCoy laryngoscope in the study population.
HYPOTHESIS
C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope will provide better glottic visualization and decrease intubation difficulty as compared to McCoy laryngoscope in patients with cervical spine immobilization.
