Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  AIROD  Standardized anaesthesia protocol will be followed. The cervical collar will be placed around the neck to create a simulated difficult airway. Pre-oxygenation for 3 minutes will be done with 100% O2. Induction of anaesthesia will be done with glycopyrrolate (0.005mgkg-1), fentanyl (2µkg-1) and propofol (2mgkg-1). After successful mask ventilation, injection vecuronium (0.1mgkg-1) will be given to achieve adequate neuromuscular block. Patient will be ventilated for 3 minutes via facemask and anaesthesia breathing system with 100% oxygen and 2% sevoflurane.Fully extended & locked AIROD will be lubricated and preloaded with the lubricated ETT of size 7.0 mm ID in females and 8.0 mm ID in males. The Macintosh laryngoscope blade will be inserted into the patient’s oral cavity, and the tongue will be displaced to the left side. Cormack- Lehane grading will be noted. After glottic visualization, intubating device will be inserted in the oropharynx. In patients intubated with AIROD proximal tip will be used to lift the epiglottis. The distal tip of introducer will be negotiated towards the trachea. It will be negotiated till 2 cm past the vocal cords. An assistant will be instructed to slide the ETT down the device. Once the intubation mark crosses the glottis, the introducer and laryngoscope will be withdrawn. Thereafter ETT will be connected to the anesthesia circuit and anesthesia will be maintained using sevoflurane in N2O and oxygen mixture. The number of redirection attempts of the device towards the glottis, total time for successful intubation, ease of intubation, maneuvers required (If external laryngeal manipulation is required then the front of the cervical collar will be removed), airway trauma and hemodynamic changes will be recorded.

,Total time taken for successful intubation,Ease of intubation
,Optimisation manoeuvres required for intubation
,Haemodynamic variation
,Complications secondary to device placement.
 
Baseline MAP, HR and SPO2 will be recorded. Thereafter values will be recorded after induction, and at 1st, 3rd and 5th minute after successful intubation.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   AIROD and Gum elastic bougie both are helpful in managing difficult airway with different structural features. AIROD have an additional advantage of displacing the oropharyngeal tissue, lifting the epiglottis, and unique locking mechanism making it more suitable device for intubation. Hence the purpose of study is to compare AIROD and Bougie as an intubation adjunct to endotracheal intubation in adult patients planned for surgery under general anaesthesia.
