INTERVENTION: Intervention1: Video laryngoscopy: Tracheal intubation will be performed using a video laryngoscope in patients undergoing elective cardiothoracic surgery under general anaesthesia. Hemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation will be recorded and compared with the control group. Control Intervention1: Direct laryngoscopy: Tracheal intubation will be performed using a conventional Macintosh direct laryngoscope in patients undergoing elective cardiothoracic surgery under general anaesthesia. Hemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation will be recorded and compared with the intervention group. CONDITION: Health Condition 1: O‐ Medical and Surgical PRIMARY OUTCOME: This prospective and observational study will help us to compare the ; hemodynamic responses elicited by video laryngoscope (VL) versus ; standard direct laryngoscope (DL) during endotracheal intubation in ; patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgeries in patients undergoing ; surgery under general anaesthesia and will enable us to know which of the ; two technique is most beneficial in performing endotracheal Intubation by ; having better outcomes in hemodynamics with minimal complications.Timepoint: 1 min ; 3 min ; 5 min ; 7 min ; 10 min SECONDARY OUTCOME: nilTimepoint: nil INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients willing to sign informed consent.
