Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effectiveness of direct laryngoscopy vs. video laryngoscopy in paediatric population aged 2 to 8 years presenting for elective surgeries having uncomplicated airways. The primary outcome measures include: 1. Time taken for succesful insertion and confirmation of ETT in patients using both techniques seprately. 2. Rate of complications and failed attempts compared between both modalities.

Detailed description

The comparision of efficacy of Video Laryngoscopy for pediatric airway vs Direct Laryngoscopy is the goal of this study, Safety of the patients will be the utmost priority with careful case selection alongwith proper informed detailed consent from the guardians of the children. PROCEDURE: After induction of General Anesthesia four minutes of proper bag mask ventilation to allow for proper intubating conditions will be done. The time taken from the insertion of the laryngoscopic blade to the best glottic view acheived by the specific technique will be noted seperately and then the time to the succesful acheivement of lung inflation with the proper placement of ETT will be noted seperately, both of these parameters will be recorded. If in a patient airway is not secured even after 3 attempts by a specific technique the technique would be altered and patient would be excluded from our research. MATERIALS: Randomized allotment of patients into the 2 groups i.e Direct Laryngoscopy and Video Laryngoscopy would be done.
