Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial will be carried out in SSG hosp during a period of one year after march 2017. We will be enrolling 30 patients in each group after getting the sample size estimation using n master statistical software considering alpha error 0.05, confidence interval 95% and power 80%. After through preanaesthetic check up and informed written consent, patient will taken inside the operation theatre and multipara monitor will be attached. Preoperative vitals will be checked. In case of Airtraq videolaryngoscope, the CMOS camera will be mounted on it and checked by watching the image on the monitor.In case of Kingvision videolaryngoscope,blade will be mounted and checked by pushing the on button and checking the image on the monitor. For both the devices, the tube to be used will be lubricated with Lignocaine jelly and the respective device will be preloaded with 7.5 in case of females and 8.5 in case of males. All patients will be premedicated with Inj Glycopyrolate 0.2mg intramuscularly 30 mins before and Inj Fentanyl  2mcg/kg intravenously 5mins before induction. After inducing the patient with Inj Propofol 2mg/kg and getting proper muscle relaxation with Inj Succinyl Choline 2mg/kg, patient will be intubated using either of the device in neutral head position. The study population will be randomly allocated to two groups : Group A in whon Airtraq and Group K in whom will be used. Videolaryngoscopy time, Tube insertion time, Total duration of intubation, Number of attempts, Optimization manoeuvers required, Quality of glottis aperture, Vital parameters and Incidences of airway trauma will be recorded. Data will be tabulated and presented in mean and SD form and p value <0.05 will be considered significant.
