Summary

Tracheal intubation is a very common procedure performed in the operating room. The usual intubation technique in the operating room is based on direct laryngoscopy, using a standard Macintosh laryngoscope. Although in most patients there are no complications during intubation, more than 90% of difficult tracheal intubations in the operate room are unpredictable, and several authors, recommend the universal use of the videolaryngoscope for all intubations, using as the first intubation option regardless of whether the patient has predictors of a difficult airway or no.The authors do not know whether providing a own videolaryngoscope to each anesthesiologist to use as the first option for intubation in all patients who need it in the operating room improves the percentage of patients with easy intubation and decrease the incidence of complications.

Conditions

  • Intubation Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Macintosh laryngoscope

During the pre-implementation period (6 months), the 35 assigned attending anesthetists will perform all tracheal intubations in the operation room according to the standard of care using the standard Macintosh direct laryngoscope as a first intubation option

DEVICE

Videolaryngoscope

During the post-implementation period (6 months), the 35 assigned attending anesthetists will perform all tracheal intubations using their personal McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope as a first intubation option.
