Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Intubation with CMac videolaryngoscope blade 2  General anaesthesia is mostly used for surgical procedures in pediatric patients.Endotracheal intubation is the main element of pediatric airway management.After obtaining approval from ethical committee,pre anesthetic evaluation is done.Informed consent is taken from the patients parent/guardian.Opaque envelope method is used for randomisation of patients.Patients arenshifted into OT.After giving premedications and preoxygenation with 100% oxgyen intubation is attempted with C-Mac videolaryngoscope blade 2 and the glottic view is noted.Tracheal intubation is done with appropriate size Endotracheal tube.The tube is fixed after confirming air entry by auscultation.Finally Intubation Difficulty Score is noted. 
Comparator Agent  Intubation with McCoy Blade size 2  Pediatric patients posted for elective surgery are evaluated. After obtaining consent from the parent/guardian,patient is shifted into the OT.Premedications and preoxygenation with 100% oxygen is done.Intubation is attempted with McCoy blade size 2.The glottic view and Intubation difficulty score is assessed similar to the other group

Brief Summary  

General anaesthesia is a commonly used procedure in pediatric surgeries. Airway related complications have a high perioperative incidence in pediatric patients. Thus, endotracheal intubation represents the main element of pediatric airway management for safety.

In children, endotracheal intubation is difficult compared to adults due to anatomic differences i.e, epiglottis is large, floppy and omega shaped, makes an angle of 450 with the base of tongue. At birth, larynx is situated opposite to the lower border of C4 vertebra, it descends to C4-C5 interspace by the age of 3yrs & finally descends to lie opposite to the body of C5. 

Due to these differences anaesthesiologists encounter more difficult airway in pediatric patients.Hence,conventional direct laryngoscopy by McIntosh & Miller blade delayed tracheal intubation in difficult airway leading to increased mortality in pediatric population due to hypoxia.

McCoy laryngoscope blade has a hinged tip with a lever control that aids in lifting the large epiglottis for an improved glottis view. While,CMac videolaryngoscope gives a better laryngoscopic view during intubation.

Data for pediatric group is still insufficient. Most studies are done on comparison of CMAC video laryngoscope with McCoy blade in difficult airway in adults, whereas studies involving McCoy blade size 2 in pediatric difficult airways is insufficient and poses a great scope.

Thus,in this randomised study,we want to see the ease of intubation and compare the glottic view during intubation between the McCoy blade and CMac videolaryngoscope of the blade size 2 in pediatric patients.
