About this trial
Impact of using video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy technique in terms of improved hemodynamics post intubation and time taken for intubation.

Treatments tested in this trial
Endotracheal Intubation through a Video Laryngoscope (VL)
DeviceIn this group, endotracheal intubation will be done through a video laryngoscope
Endotracheal Intubation through a Direct Laryngoscope (DL)
DeviceIn this group, endotracheal intubation will be done through a direct laryngoscope
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Heart rate
Heart rate will be monitored through a 3-lead ECG monitor
Systolic Blood Pressure
Systolic Blood Pressure will be monitored via a non-invasive blood pressure monitor with an appropriate BP cuff attached to any arm of the patient.
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic blood pressure will be monitored via a non-invasive blood pressure monitor with an appropriate BP cuff attached to any arm of the patient.
Mean Blood Pressure
Mean blood pressure will be monitored via a non-invasive blood pressure monitor with an appropriate BP cuff attached to any arm of the patient.
Secondary outcomes
Duration of Laryngoscopy
The time taken to perform endotracheal intubation will also be noted for both direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy. This involves measuring the interval from when the laryngoscope blade is inserted into the patient's mouth to the detection of the first capnography wave, while simultaneously using the timer to monitor vital parameters.
