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.
