Summary

The study evaluates differences in perceived and objective workload in anesthetists during intubation procedure with a direct (Mcintosh) or indirect (Glidescope) laryngoscope. Expert anesthetists will perform 3 intubations per device, while completing a secondary task, during which reaction times to an auditory stimulus will be recorded, and will complete a questionnaire (the NASA-Task Load Index) to evaluate their perceived workload at the end of each procedure.

Interventions

DEVICE

Glidescope intubation

Anesthetists will perform intubation in patients undergoing elective neurosurgery with the Glidescope videolaryngoscope, while completing a secondary auditory task. Response times to the secondary task will be recorded, and operators will complete the NASA Task Load Index questionnaire at the end of each procedure.

DEVICE

Mcintosh intubation

Anesthetists will perform intubation in patients undergoing elective neurosurgery with the Mcintosh laryngoscope, while completing a secondary auditory task. Response times to the secondary task will be recorded, and operators will complete the NASA Task Load Index questionnaire at the end of each procedure.
