Sponsor's own description

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to compare the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetist using Video LaryngoscopeTM(VDL) versus Conventional Macintosh Laryngoscope (CL) at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS 1. Sore Throat: A sore throat is pain, scratchiness or irritation of the throat usually from irritation or inflammation of the throat (pharynx)(11). The visual analogue scale (0-10) will be used to evaluate the severity of sore throat 2. Trainee Anesthetist: Anesthesia residents level I and II having experience of more than six months. They will have to achieve the initial competence of doing intubation under direct supervision and need to be familiar with conventional as well as VDL technique. HYPOTHESIS: NULL HYPOTHESIS: There is no difference in the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetists using VDLTM versus conventional Macintosh laryngoscope. ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: There is a difference in the frequency of POST in patients intubated by trainee anaesthetists using VDLTM versus conventional Macintosh laryngoscope.
