Detailed Description
The study aims to conduct a multicenter international trial to enroll a maximum of 800 consenting adults who fall under the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1-3 category and require elective non-cardiac surgery necessitating endotracheal intubation with rapid sequence induction for general anesthesia. The study seeks to compare the efficacy of conventional direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade with the McGrath videolaryngoscope for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visualization of the vocal cords [Within 1 hours anesthesia induction.]
Our primary outcomes is visualization of the vocal cords, defined using the modified Cormack and Lehane classification
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of intubation attempts, and failures. [Within 1 hour of anesthesia induction.]
Secondary outcomes are number of intubation attempts and the number of intubation failures.
