Life begins with breath. The primary responsibility of the anesthesiologists as a clinician is to safeguard the airway i.e. to preserve and protect it during induction, maintenance and recovery from the state of anesthesia. Failure to maintain a patent airway for more than a few minutes’ results in hypoxia, hypercarbia, metabolic alterations, brain damage or death. 90 patients with age ranging from 18-65 years. There was rise in heart rate in both the group but significant rise was seen in patient in Macintosh –group. There was rise in systolic blood pressure in both the group but significant rise was seen in patient in Macintosh -group as compared to patient in Truview evo-2 - group. Hemodynamic response: There was lesser rise in hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate, systolic biood pressure and rate pressure product as the lifting force required was less in T-group. Laryngoscopic view: Truview laryngoscope provides better glottic view as expressed by Cormack and Lehane grade and Percentage of glottic opening score and makes intubation easier.
