Brief Summary  
The purpose of the study is the comparative evaluation of TAScope and video-assisted
McIntosh laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation in simulated difficult airway.
Videolaryngoscopes make the learning process easy as they do not require alignment of
oral, pharyngeal, tracheal axis and also provide a magnified view. Both TAScope and
Video-assisted McIntosh are indigenously developed with use of endoscopic cameras. The
difference being the angulation provided in TAScope for better Glottic visualisation. The
idea of the study is to evaluate whether there is role of angulation of blade in
videolaryngoscopes and which amongst these devices can prove to be a better, safer and
economical option for securing an airway during anticipated and unanticipated intubation.
AIM- To compare TAScope and video-assisted McIntosh laryngoscope for endotracheal
intubation in simulated difficult airway.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE- To compare intubation difficulty scale (IDS) score, rate of
successful intubation using TAScope and Indigenous MacIntosh videolaryngoscope in
simulated difficult airway
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE- To compare the time of intubation, CL grade, POGO score of
glottic view and hemodyamic parameters using TAScope and Indigenous MacIntosh
videolaryngoscope in simulated difficult airway.
