Summary
The investigators evaluated the usefulness of the Glidescope(GVL) compared with direct laryngoscopy in patients whose airway management are anticipated difficult (C&L grade ≥3) by comparing the laryngoscopic view. Also, the investigators compared the effectiveness of smaller-size blade of GVL (GVLs) with standard blade of GVL selected by patient's weight (GVLw) in the same patients.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients whose C&L grade were over 3 in previous anesthetic records.
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients with pulmonary aspiration, increased intracranial pressure, and severe cardiovascular disease
