Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

time taken for intubation

the time for the laryngoscope to pass level of incisors till confirmation of tracheal intubation by capnography

Time frame: periprocedural (less than 60 seconds)

Secondary Outcomes

- The success rate of first intubation trial.

Number of intubation attempts (an intubation attempt will be deemed failed if desaturation occurs Spo2 \<90 % or intubation failed in \<60 seconds). Intubations will be deemed failures after 3 intubation attempts.

Time frame: through study completion (about 8 months)
