Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if intubation with video laryngoscopy (VL) will result in less head motion and therefore less cervical motion when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL).

The aim of the study is to determine the amount of head motion (extension, flexion and rotation) when using Storz C-Mac® video laryngoscopes and direct laryngoscopes. Secondarily, the study will also measure the number of attempts to properly intubate and the time required for intubation with either technique.

Conditions

  • Intubation; Difficult
  • Cervical Spine Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Video Laryngoscopy

Head motion will be measured by using Polhemus Patriot™ electromagnetic tracking system

PROCEDURE

Direct Laryngoscopy

Time for intubation will be measured from the laryngoscope entering the mouth to the endotracheal tube passing through the vocal cords

DEVICE

Storz C-Mac® laryngoscope
