Comparison of Fiberoptic Intubation With Fiberoptic Intubation Through an Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway in Infants and Small Children

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Fiberoptic Intubation in Children

In brief

The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare the effect of operator experience on the ability to use fiberoptic-guided intubation in children less than two years old, with and without the use of an air-Q as a conduit. The question the investigators are trying to answer is: Does the operator experience make a significant difference in the time for successful fiberoptic guided tracheal intubation with and without the use of an air-Q intubating laryngeal airway?
