Brief Summary

For oral fiberoptic intubation, the preliminary insertion depth of the fiberoptic bronchoscope should be important because the excessive insertion depth or too shallow depth might be the reason why the clinicians cannot perform oral fiberoptic intubation completely. The purpose of the study is to find out the optimal preliminary insertion depth of the fiberoptic bronchoscope for visualization of glottic opening in oral fiberoptic intubation.

Conditions

General Anesthesia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The length of optimal preliminary insertion depth of FOB (centimeters)

  The length of optimal preliminary insertion depth of FOB means the insertion depth of it from the philtrum, the upper lip, or the incisors where the clinicians can see easily the glottic opening while they are flexing the FOB. And that will be recorded as centimeters.

  during tracheal intubation

Interventions

Oral FOB OTHER

After induction of anesthesia and muscle relaxation, An investigator who has experiences of numerous fiberoptic intubations will measure the optimal preliminary insertion depth of the fiberoptic bronchoscope for oral fiberoptic intubation.
