No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this randomized crossover trial the investigators test whether three different brands of videolaryngoscopes (VLS) exhibit reduced forces on both upper and lower teeth, and compare them with a classic Macintosh laryngoscope blade.

Conditions

  • Tooth Injuries
  • Intubation Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Forces exerted on teeth during intubation

Anesthesia will be induced in the conventional matter. The classic Macintosh laryngoscope will be placed in the patient's mouth and a tube will be brought into position in front of the glottis. Hereafter, one of the three videolaryngoscopes will be placed in the patient's mouth and the endotracheal tube will be actually passed through the vocal cords. The measurement of forces applied to the teeth will be performed using Flexiforce® sensors.
