- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1.Time required commencing from starting of laryngoscopy to confirmation of endotracheal intubation using protocolized POCUS airway examination for confirmation of endotracheal intubation in pediatric patients. <br/ ><br>2.Time required commencing from starting of laryngoscopy to confirmation of endotracheal intubation using QWC (defined as appearance of sixth consecutive capnographic waveform) in pediatric patientsTimepoint: Baseline, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min,5mins
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of protocolized POCUS airway examination with that of QWC for confirmation of endotracheal intubation in pediatric patients (of age 2 years to 15 years) undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia.Timepoint: Baseline, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min,5mins
