Summary
This study aims to evaluate the utility of a video assisted device for intubation (placement of a breathing tube) during surgery. This study specifically aims to compare a video assisted intubation with the CMAC laryngoscope to conventional devices in the setting of intubations predicted to be difficult.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Adult patients presenting for elective surgery who are fasted and who have one of the following difficult airway predictors:
- mallampati classification 3
- mallampati classification 4
- Reduced mouth opening ( 6 hrs. NPO)
- Patients who have contraindications to the administration of neuromuscular blocking drugs
- Patients who have a documented history of intubation on first attempt with C-L grade 1 laryngeal view
- Patients who are deemed to difficult and dangerous to anesthetize without first securing an airway.
