Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study aims to assess the ease and safety during nasotracheal intubation using cuff inflation technique along with neck flexion which is relatively safer than using a magills forceps with may cause trauma to oropharyngeal mucosa and also may tear the tube cuff. This study also helps to asses the time consumed with both the techniques and thus guide regarding which method offers faster intubation.
