Abstract
Aim: To compare the efficiency of nasotracheal intubation using Macintosh laryngoscope with bougie and without bougie in incidence of bleeding, time lapse and haemodynamic stress response. Methodology: The present randomised study was conducted in the department of Anaesthesiology among 120 adult patients scheduled for elective surgery and planned for general anaesthesia, after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study population was divided randomly by computer generated numbers into two groups with 60 patients in each group. Group 1(n=60): where nasotracheal intubation was done with bougie using Macintosh laryngoscope. Group 2(n=60): where nasotracheal intubation was done without bougie using Macintosh laryngoscope.
