You may qualify if…
- Age ≥ 18 years
- General anesthesia requiring oral endotracheal intubation in the prone position for the duration of surgery (head secured in a foam head holder, horseshoe frame, or Mayfield pins).
- General anesthesia for neurosurgery requiring oral endotracheal intubation, supine or slight lateral bump position for the duration of surgery. (Special emphasis will be placed on including patients who will undergo motor evoked potentials, and thus will not be paralyzed during the surgery).
- General anesthesia requiring oral endotracheal intubation with a left sided double-lumen endotracheal tube for lung isolation, lateral position for the duration of surgery.
