- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate and compare C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope with McCoy laryngoscope for time taken for tracheal intubation in patients with simulated restricted neck mobility undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.Timepoint: Outcome (TTI) will be assessed at point of appearance of square wave capnograph on monitor after the introduction of device in mouth and subsequent endotracheal tube placement. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>[TTI- defined as time of introduction of device in mouth to the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by a square wave capnograph on the monitor]. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To Compare the: <br/ ><br>1. Laryngeal view <br/ ><br>2. Number of attempts <br/ ><br>3. Heart Rate (HR),Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (Systolic, Diastolic and Mean), Continuous electrocardiogram (ECG), oxygen saturation (SPO2) and End Tidal carbon dioxide level (ETCO2). <br/ ><br>4. Intraoperative findings and post operative adverse eventsTimepoint: 1. Laryngeal view: immediately after introduction of laryngoscope <br/ ><br>2. HR, NIBP, ECG, SPO2 and ETCO2: just before intubation, immediately after intubation, 1minute interval for next 5 minutes after intubation, 5 minute interval till 15 minutes after intubation <br/ ><br>3.Intra/postoperative findings and adverse events: immediately after endotracheal intubation, immediately after extubation of tracheal tube, 2 hours after extubation of tracheal tube, 12 hours after extubation of tracheal tube <br/ ><br>
