After induction of general anesthesia, tracheal intubation was done with either of the technique using a flexometallic tube. Time taken for intubation, hemodynamic variations during and after intubation, any optimization maneuver used during intubation, Cormack-Lehane score, Percentage of Glottic Opening (POGO score), Intubation Difficulty Score (IDS), and postoperative airway symptoms were noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean time required for intubation with Airtraq was more than Macintosh;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.003.
