Comparison of Two Blades of Videolaryngoscope in Simulated Difficult Airway in Children

Airway management and tracheal intubation are routinely performed in paediatric anaesthesia and yet are associated with preventable adverse events. The D-blade of videolaryngoscope is preferred in difficult intubation with a more curved blade then the Macintosh videolaryngoscope blade, which may be more useful in difficult intubation. The aim of the study is to compare the D-blade of videolaryngoscope with Macintosh videolaryngoscope blade.

intubation will be done using d-blade of videolaryngoscope

simulated difficult airway

Other

extension of head will be limited by using collar.

Macintosh videolaryngoscope

Device

intubation will be done using macintosh videolaryngoscope

  1. intubation time

    Time frame: time between handling videolaryngoscope and inserting endotracheal tube

    Time of endotracheal intubation will be recorded.

Secondary outcomes
