Summary
Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation will be randomized to one of two different endotracheal tube (ETT) stylets. The intubation will be done with a GlideScope videolaryngoscope by a novice operator. The primary outcome is time to intubation.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- any adult patient scheduled for elective surgery.
- ETT is indicated for the procedure in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
- any operator who has performed ≤ 10 GlideScope intubations.
Exclusion Criteria
- any patient in whom the use of the GlideScope is contraindicated in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
- Patient with known cervical spine abnormalities.
- any patients with known or probable difficult airways. (This rare occurrence is unlikely to be evenly distributed between the groups and could skew the data).
- any patient requiring rapid sequence induction.
