Endotrol-tracheal Tube Assisted Endotracheal Intubation During Video Laryngoscopy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Endotracheal Intubation

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Endotrol Tube compared to the conventional endotracheal tube in conjunction with the GlideRite stylet (Verathon Medical Inc, USA) during videolaryngoscopy assisted endotracheal intubation using a McGrath (Aircraft Medical Ltd., and distributed in the US by LMA North America, Inc.) video laryngoscope or a GlideScope (Verathon Medical Inc, USA). The investigators hypothesize that using the Endotrol tracheal tube, (Covidien, Colorado, USA) is safer and more efficacious than using the conventional endotracheal tube during McGrath video laryngoscope and/or GlideScope aided endotracheal intubation.
