Brief Summary  
  1. Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is a very basic procedure to be mastered by all anaesthesiologists. Positioning the patient head at proper height assumes a very high importance to complete the task. Heath highlighted the benefits of using an adjustable operating table and the ergonomic benefits of different heights—high during cannulation to prevent back discomfort, a bit lower for airway management, and even lower for short trainees. It has been suggested that the patient’s face should be placed at the height of the anaesthetist’s xiphoid process for comfortable intubation without requiring the anaesthetist to bend his/her back.

 

H.C.Lee studied patients face at 4 different landmarks relative to the anaesthesiologist body and concluded that higher operating table position provide better laryngoscopic view and less discomfort during tracheal intubation. Smitha prakash studied two different head positions like sniffing position and simple head extension for laryngoscopic view and intubation difficulty in adults and concluded that sniffing position is superior to simple head extension with regard to ease of intubation and has assessed by Intubation Difficulty Scale(IDS). Presently we will be conducting the study to compare the ease of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in sniffing and simple head extension position at two different operating table heights namely xiphisternum and nipple level relative to the performing Anesthesiologist.
