Brief Summary   Direct laryngoscopy is used to facilitate tracheal intubation under vision. The key step for successful laryngoscopy is optimal positioning. 1 Proper head positioning facilitates good glottic view and minimize tracheal injury, duration and repeated attempts of laryngoscopy/intubation and reducing complications. 2 The most commonly used head position is ‘sniffing position’. It consists of neck flexion of approximately 35°and atlanto occipital joint extension of approximately 15°. This aligns the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axis in straight line, permitting the line of vision to fall directly on the laryngeal inlet. The neck flexion component of the sniffing position is generally achieved by simple flexion of the head without a pillow or with a pillow of height up to 5-10 cm. 3,4 Limited studies are available for assessing the optimal pillow height for obtaining the best glottic view during laryngoscopy and intubation in the Indian population. Hence, the present study has been taken up to evaluate laryngoscopic view and intubation conditions with three different pillow heights
