Summary

This study is designed to identify patients' features predictive of difficult endotracheal intubation using a flexible fiberscope.

Conditions

  • Intubation; Difficult

Interventions

DEVICE

Flexible fiberscope

* Characteristics of patients will be assessed before induction of general anesthesia * Glottic visualization will be evaluated by direct laryngoscopy. * The endotracheal tube will be loaded onto the scope after silicon spray lubrication * Intubation will be performed with the flexible fiberscope with the patient in supine position with head and neck in neutral position * With the tip of the fiberscope in satisfactory position, the endotracheal tube will be advanced into the trachea. The scope will then be removed. * Accurate positioning of the endotracheal tube will be confirmed by capnography and lung auscultation.
