Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Acromioaxillarysuprasternal (AASI) notch index compared with mallampatti grading to predict difficult airway   Measusing AASI index and mallampatti grading will be done before anesthesia to assess difficult airway. At the time of intubation, direct laryngoscopic view gading with cormack lahane test to predict difficult visualisation of larynx 
Intervention  Three test done to predict difficult airway. First measurement of distances in the neck, second grading as per visualization of intraoral structues and third grading of laryngoscopic view   By measuring different distances in the neck, acromioaxillarysuprasternal notch index measured. Mallampatti grading noted as per visualization of intraoral structures. Cormack and lahane grading done as per laryngoscopic view.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the predictive validity of new index called the acromioaxillosuprasternal notch index (AASI) and compare it with a standard test mallampati test (MMP) for assessing difficult laryngoscopic view   We will measure aasi and modified mallampatti test in preoperative area and will compare it with cormack lahange grading which will be done after seeing vocal cord after laryngoscopy 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Intubation difficulties, intubation attempt, failed intubation, hemodynamic parameters, complications  Staring of induction of anesthesia to 15 minutes after intubation of trachea.

Brief Summary   Mintaining a patent airway following the induction of general anesthesia is undeniably the most imperative concern for an anesthesiologist. The incidence of difficult laryngoscopy or tracheal intubation was reported to be in the range of 0.1to20.2%. Unanticipated difficult intubation can lead to difficult or lack of ventilation in anesthetized patients and can cause morbidity or mortality. Prediction of difficult intubation in preoperative evaluation includes test based on anatomical landmarks such as modified Mallampati test (MMP), interincisive distance, thyromental distance (TMD), sternomental distance, upper lip bite test, and hyomental distance. All tests nave different sensitivities and specificities. Experienced anesthesiologist had observed difficult visualization of larynx (DVL) in individuals whose neck was situated deep in the chest (i.e. with a sloping clavicle). Test based on the surface anatomy of the upper chest - measuring acromioaxillary distance above the line drawn from supra-sternal notch might be used as an indicator to predict difficult airway. This, study is designed to compare simple, cost effective acromioaxillosuprasternal notch index (a new test) with modified mallampati test in predicting difficult visualization of larynx
