Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Ease of intubation	Ease of endotracheal intubation is assessed using the intubation difficulty scale.; Intubation difficulty scale includes number of attempts, number of operators, number of alternative techniques, glottic opening and so on.	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score	POGO score is recorded during endotracheal intubation (0%: no visualization of glottic opening; 100%: entire visualization of the glottic opening).	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Number of attempts	Number of attempts for endotracheal intubation is recorded.	Procedure (At the end of endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Intubation time	The time taken for endotracheal intubation is recorded.	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Palatopharyngeal wall injury	Presence of palatopharyngeal wall injury is observed.	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Lifting force for exposure of the glottis	Requirement for lifting force to expose the glottis is recorded during videolaryngoscopy	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Laryngeal pressure for exposure of the glottis	Requirement for laryngeal force to expose the glottis is recorded during videolaryngoscopy	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Lifting force for advancing an endotracheal tube into the larynx	Requirement for lifting force is recorded during the advancement of the endotracheal tube into the larynx.	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
Secondary	Laryngeal pressure for advancing an endotracheal tube into the larynx.	Requirement for laryngeal pressure is recorded during the advancement of the endotracheal tube into the larynx.	Procedure (During endotracheal intubation)
