NCT01100957

Brief Summary

The study is in two parts Part one of the study describes the use of the new single-use flexible video-scope for intubation of patients with predicted normal airways. Part two compares the performance of the single-use flexible video-scope with that of a conventional flexible video-scope for awake intubation of patients with predicted difficult airways. The hypothesis is that the new single-use flexible video-scope for intubation performs as well as the traditional scope.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • time for completion of intubation

    This, the time for intubation, is measured immediately during the intubation, on the day that the specific patient participates in the study

    September 2010

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • time for preparing and cleaning the endoscopes

    september 2010

  • number of intubation attempts

    september 2010

  • success rate of endotracheal intubation

    september 2010

  • total time for the intubation-procedure inclusive the time for distributing local analgesics

    september 2010

  • Quality of the image from the videoscope

    september 2010

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
