Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the success rate of first-attempt orotracheal intubation in patients
receiving succinylcholine versus rocuronium assessed by the physician and
confirmed by capnography curve consistent over 3 respiratory cycles. 
To compare the success rate of first-attempt orotracheal intubation in patients
receiving succinylcholine versus rocuronium assessed by the physician and
confirmed by monitoring capnography curve over 12 to 15 seconds (consistent over 3 respiratory cycles) as per ventilator settings of Respiratory rate in a range of 12 to 16 breaths per minutes 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare
1.Intubation condition assessed by Copenhagen score
2.Percentage of patients intubated by alternative techniques
3.Intubation related complication in fifteen minutes
Cardiac arrest, Arterial hypotension less than ninty mm Hg,Occurrence of new oxygen desaturation,Physician reported aspiration, Arrhythmia, Allergic reaction 
1.Copenhagen score calculated at 45 to 60 seconds after administration of neuromuscular blocking agents
2.Alternative techniques of intubation will be used after failure of 3rd attempt of orotracheal intubation.
3.Intubation related complication such as Cardiac arrest, Arterial hypotension less than 90 mmHg,Occurrence of new oxygen desaturation,Physician reported aspiration, Arrhythmia, Allergic reaction are assessed within 15 minutes of post intubation

Brief Summary   This is a prospective open labelled randomised control trial of parallel group to compare the success rate of first attempt orotracheal intubation and effects of intravenous Succinylcholine versus Rocuronium in rapid sequence intubation.Patients aged 18 and more are recruited after taking into consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria with their legally authorised respresentative giving a valid consent, are randomised into two groups- Group S receiving intravenous Succinylcholine as bolus at 1mg/kg and Group-R receiving intravenous Rocuronium as bolus at 1.2 mg/kg. Primary objective is to compare the success rate of first attempt orotracheal intubation in patient receiving Succinylcholine versus Rocuronium, assessed by physician and confirmed by capnography curve consistent over three respiratory cycles.Secondary objective is to evaluate the intuabtion condition by Copenhagen score and percentage of patients intuabted by other techniques along with the complications seen with the use of either drugs in the first 15 minutes post successful orotracheal intubation.
