Comparison of two types of layngoscopes for intubation in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery.

Not Applicable

Recruiting

Conditions: Patients of cervical spine injury

Registration Number: CTRI/2018/05/013598

Lead Sponsor: Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital

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.
