Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time for endotracheal intubation
Defined as the time measured in seconds from handling the laryngoscope till confirmation of correct position of endotracheal tube
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Time of laryngoscopy
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
Incidence of difficult laryngoscopy
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
Oxygen saturation
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
End-tidal carbon dioxide
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
Heart rate
5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Modified ramped position group
EXPERIMENTALIn this group, induction of anesthesia will be performed in the modified ramped position.
Ramped position group
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn this group, induction of anesthesia will be performed in the ordinary ramped position.
Interventions
This position will be achieved using a special pillow. Shoulders will be elevated and neck will be extended to bring the breasts away from the laryngoscopy. The patient will be positioned so that the tip of the last spinous process (C7) will be at the edge of the pillow. The neck will be extended to the most possible range.
This position will be achieved by elevation of the shoulders and the head elevation till achieving alignment of sternal notch and external auditory meatus
