Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
differences in intubation time (definition: from the insertion of the laryngoscope into mouth to visual confirmation of tracheal tube passage into larynx ) will be assessed by clinical staff[Measured once visual confirmation of tracheal tube passage into larynx has been achieved];intubation difficulty score (ref. Journal of Trauma 2010; 69: 838-842) will be assessed by clinical staff[Immediately after the completion of each intubation trial];blood pressure will be measured by automated blood pressure cuff[before anaesthetic induction, before intubation, during intubation, 1 and 5 minute after intubation];The number of attempts required for successful intubation of the patient as assessed by clinical staff[during intubation]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
dental or lip injury will be assessed by clinical staff[after the procedure, when patients discharging the recovery room];Mallampati score used to predict the ease of intubation as assessed by clnical staff[Before anaesthetic induction];blood on laryngoscope will be assessed by clinical staff[after intubation];thyromental distance will be assessed by clinical staff[Before anaesthetic induction];Neck circumference will be assessed by clinical staff[Before anaesthetic induction];pulse oximetry value below 95% will be assessed by clinical staff[after intubation]
