From 10 January 2017 to 17 June 2017 METHODOLOGY: All these patients were divided into two groups, Group S (stylet group) and group C (control group). Total 386 patients were enrolled through non probability sampling and divided in two equal groups by lottery method. Predesigned Performa was used to collected data regarding demographic variables like age and gender, and out variables like airway maintenance, pharyngeal pain and sore throat. RESULTS: A total number of 386 patients were included in this study, both genders. It was noted that group (S) showed easy airway maintenance in 95.9% patients. In group (S), 63.2% patients complained sore throat and 67.4% complained about pharyngeal pain.
