- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To study the effects of different table heights on the total time for tracheal intubation while using a video laryngoscopeTimepoint: Total Time for Tracheal Intubation (TTTI) will be assessed intraoperatively from the time the video laryngoscope is held in hand of intubator till the intubator takes out the video laryngoscope from mouth of patient after successful endotracheal intubation at different patient table heights
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate the time for glottic exposure (TGE), time for tracheal intubation (TTI), number of laryngoscopy attempts, discomfort level of the investigator with respect to the table height, change in body positioning with respect to table height, grades of visualization of vocal cords at different heights, post operative sore throat.Timepoint: Time of Glottic Exposure (TGE) will be taken as the time taken from taking the laryngoscope in hand to satisfactory vocal cord visualization by the intubator. <br/ ><br>Time for Tracheal Intubation (TTI) will be taken as the time taken from taking the endotracheal tube in hand to taking out the laryngoscope from patientâ??s mouth by the intubator. <br/ ><br>Post operative sore throat (POST) will be assessed one hour after the completion of surgical procedure.
