ASA IV patients, patients with mouth opening <2.5 cm, patients difficult to mask ventilate, and patients with hyperkalemia and history of malignant hyperthermia were excluded from the study. Primary outcome was time taken to intubation, and secondary outcomes were a number of attempts, glottic view in terms of C\/L grade, use of accessory maneuvers, success rate, incidence of trauma, ease of intubation, and hemodynamic changes before and after intubation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Time required for intubation was less (39.56 \u00b1 15.65 s) in Group C than in Group M (50.34 \u00b1 15.65 s). Cormack\u2013Lehane Grade I and II view were more in C-MAC D-Blade group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Success rate and ease of intubation were found to be more in C-MAC D-Blade group than in Macintosh group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). A number of attempts and incidence of complications such as trauma, bleeding, and failed intubation were greater in Macintosh group than in C-MAC D-Blade group.
