Comparison Study of a New Fiberoptic Intubation Device to Standard Intubation Techniques

Completed

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

This is a two part study comparing the Trachview videoscope to standard laryngoscopy in their ability to visualize the glottic opening. It is hypothesized that the glottic view is improved with the Trachview videoscope. Not only can the Trachview provide an alternative and often improved view of the airway, but can be used for teaching novice intubators. Furthermore, the Trachview requires minimal deviation from standard intubating techniques and thus, it is much easier to learn and use than many fiberoptic scopes currently available.
