Brief Summary  

Securing the patient’s airway is of prime importance to the anaesthesiologist and the ease of laryngosopy and intubation depends on the best laryngeal view obtained. This is greatly influenced by the height of the operating table at the time of laryngoscopy. Furthermore the ease of intubation leads to lesser stress on the patient as well as the anaesthesiologist, leading to a lesser postoperative discomfort to the patient and better work performance by the doctors. This study aims to simultaneously evaluate the effect of table height on the ease of laryngoscopy and intubation for the patient as well as the anaesthesiologist by measuring the best laryngeal view, the degree of discomfort to the anaesthesiologist and the head extension required of the patient’s head during laryngoscopy at three different table heights.
