Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group D - D-Blade C-MAC video-laryngoscope group  Laryngoscopy and Intubation with D Blade CMAC video laryngoscope Duration - 8 min after intubation Just before intubation (T1), again all values will be noted. The endotracheal tubes size of 7.0 and 7.5 mm ID for female and male patients respectively will be taken. Also, size 3 and 4 C-MAC Macintosh and D blades for female and male patients respectively will be used. Intubation stylet will be used for all the intubations. Time to intubation will be started as laryngoscope blade tip passes the incisors till end tidal carbon dioxide are noted on capnography. All intubations will be performed by a consultant anaesthesiologist having experience of at least 20 times usage of C-MAC laryngoscope Mcintosh and D blade each. Failure to intubate in first attempt will be dealt with according to standard failed intubation guidelines, and patient will be excluded from study. Succeeding intubation, all hemodynamic parameters will be recorded at immediately after intubation (T3), 1minute (T4), 3 minute (T5) and 5minute (T6) intervals after intubation. The intubation times and other outcome parameters will be noted by an independent observer who is unaware of the study methodology. Ease of intubation will be measured from 0 to 10 . The intraoperative and post operative care of the patient will be according to standard institutional protocols.

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

There has been prevalent use of video laryngoscopes in modern anaesthesia practice. C-MAC®  is one of the commonly used devices for securing airway for general anaesthesia. C-MAC has been shown to be better than conventional direct laryngoscopy for securing airway78. The D-blade C-MAC due to its more anatomically compatible shape may require lesser force during laryngoscopy.

The rationale behind this study is the lacunae in the knowledge regarding the choice of blade between C-MAC Macintosh blade and C-MAC D blade for hypertensive patients undergoing general anaesthesia. The comparison will help us to find out if D blade C-

MAC has any superiority over Macintosh blade in terms of hemodynamic adverse effects.
