Clinical Evaluation of the Storz CMAC Laryngoscope

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Intubation, Airway Management

In brief

This study aims to evaluate the utility of a video assisted device for intubation (placement of a breathing tube) during surgery. This study specifically aims to compare a video assisted intubation with the CMAC laryngoscope to conventional devices in the setting of intubations predicted to be difficult.
