Brief Summary
To compare two hybrid techniques, flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a video laryngoscope and flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a laryngeal mask, that have recently shown promise as a way to increase first-attempt success rates and reduce complications in children with anticipated difficult intubation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
first attempt intubation success rate
The success rate of a healthcare provider's first attempt to insert a tube into a patient's airway. Intubation is defined as successful if the tube is inserted and capnography is first seen. If the fiberoptic bronchoscope comes out of the mouth, it is a failure.
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
Secondary Outcomes (8)
total intubation time (seconds)
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
Number of intubation attempts
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
successful tracheal intubation with the allocated method
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
successful tracheal intubation (Yes or No)
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
Nadir oxygen saturation during intubation (SpO2 value, %)
from induction of anesthesia to 1 minutes after intubation, about 10 minutes.
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Hybrid technique
EXPERIMENTALSupraglottic airway
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
Two specialists perform tracheal intubation, one using a video laryngoscope to expose the vocal cords and the other using a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
After inserting the supraglottic airway, the specialist performs intubation using a fiberoptic bronchoscope through the supraglottic airway.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children from 1 month of age to less than 12 years of age who are expected to have a difficult intubation when undergoing routine surgery under general anesthesia.
You may not qualify if:
- When there is limited mouth opening, making it difficult to insert supraglottic airway ② The patient or their parents do not agree to participate in the study. ③ Other cases deemed unsuitable by the researcher
