Brief Summary

This study is designed to identify patients' features predictive of successful intubation using the Bonfils fiberscope. Our hypothesis is that some patients' characteristics are predictors of successful intubation with the Bonfils fiberscope.

Conditions

Endotracheal Intubation

Keywords

Intubation; Bonfils fiberscope

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Morphologic and morphometric predictors of successful tracheal intubation with the Bonfils fiberscope

  This study will correlate patients' morphometric and morphologic characteristics with the number of attempts and time needed for intubation using the Bonfils fiberscope.

  Patients will be followed from induction of anesthesia until the end of intubation, an average of 10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Time to successful intubation

  Patients will be followed from induction of anesthesia until the end of intubation, an average of 10 minutes

• Number of attempts to successful intubation

  Patients will be followed from induction of anesthesia until the end of intubation, an average of 10 minutes

• Score on the Intubation Difficulty Scale

  Patients will be followed from induction of anesthesia until the end of intubation, an average of 10 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Intubation with the Bonfils fiberscope

EXPERIMENTAL

* Characteristics of patients will be assessed before induction of general anesthesia * Glottic visualization will be evaluated by direct laryngoscopy. * The endotracheal tube will be loaded onto the scope * Intubation will be performed with the Bonfils fiberscope with the patient in supine position with head and neck in neutral position * Bonfils fiberscope will be inserted from the right side of the patient's mouth, alongside the molars and advanced underneath the epiglottis. With the tip of the Bonfils in satisfactory position, the endotracheal tube will be advanced into the trachea using gentle rotary motions. The scope will then be removed. * Accurate positioning of the endotracheal tube will be confirmed by capnography and lung auscultation.
