Brief Summary: Airway management is an integral part of general anaesthesia. In spite of recent developments in management of airway, complications arising from failed or difficult intubation are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity during anaesthesia. The unique design features and technique of use with KVVLs and CMAC-D blade may differ in intubation, oropharyngeal stimulation and consequent pressor response. We planned to conduct this study, since there is paucity of clinical research comparing these two video laryngoscopes (VLs) in head and neck patients. Our aim is to compare the intubation performance between the two VLs. Primary objective is to compare time of intubation and secondary objectives includes (a) ease of intubation (b) intubation response and (c) complications between the two VLs.
