Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Demographic data of difficult intubation cases and body mass indices, thyromental and sternomental distances, mallampati classification, neck circumference, maximum mouth opening be recorded.Numbness of the tongue and metallic taste will be questioned
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Lingual nerve injury is a recognised complication of orotracheal intubation and has been associated with forceful laryngoscopy.
Although left-sided neuropraxia has been reported, right-sided lesions are thought to be more common because the standard Macintosh laryngoscope exerts pressure on the right side of the tongue.
Lingual nerve injury following orotracheal intubation was first described in 1971 by Teichner who reported a right-sided neuropraxia which was attributed to direct pressure from the laryngoscope.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Difficult intubation group
An intubation is called difficult if a normally trained anesthesiologist needs more than 3 attempts or more than 10 min for a successful endotracheal intubation.
Observational
No intervention
Non difficult intubation group
An intubation is called non difficult if a normally trained anesthesiologist needs only one attempt for a successful endotracheal intubation.
Observational
No intervention
