Brief Summary

In anesthesia, intubation is a technique used to secure an airway. This technique is not always straightforward. Sometimes it is difficult to place an endotracheal tube. There are two manners of giving pressure to the patients neck, to improve view and facilitate intubation. The investigators hypothesize that by giving this pressure the effective work area is likely to be smaller. The investigators would like to quantify this effect by measuring the effective work area, using a specially designed computer program.
