Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study is a hospital based observational study being performed to determine whether transtracheal ultrasonography or end-tidal capnography is the faster method to confirm proper placement of endotracheal tube during intubation. The mean time taken using the two above-mentioned techniques will be noted down and a comparative assessment will be made. The study participants will include consenting adult patients with ASA grades I - III, posted for elective surgery under general anaesthesia.
