Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • any adult patient scheduled for elective surgery.
  • ETT is indicated for the procedure in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
  • any operator who has performed ≤ 10 GlideScope intubations.

You may not qualify if:

  • any patient in whom the use of the GlideScope is contraindicated in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
  • Patient with known cervical spine abnormalities.
  • any patients with known or probable difficult airways. (This rare occurrence is unlikely to be evenly distributed between the groups and could skew the data).
  • any patient requiring rapid sequence induction.
