About this study

The laryngoscopic view of the glottis is improved when the angle of the line of vision between the pharyngeal - laryngeal axis and the oral cavity axis is narrow. A roll inserted under the shoulders of the infant will help line up the oral, laryngeal, and pharyngeal axes making direct laryngoscopy easier.

The investigators hypothesized that laryngoscopic view and intubation conditions using C-Mac videolaryngoscope with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 would be better with a roll under shoulder in children under 2 years.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • less than 2 years age undergoing general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation for elective surgery
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists' physical status either 1 or 2 are included

Exclusion criteria

  • upper respiratory tract infection within the previous 4 weeks
  • airway difficulties in the preoperative evaluation
  • unstable reactions during intubation

Treatment and study plan

C-MAC videolaryngoscope

Device

An intubating device that is used for endotracheal intubation. Endotracheal intubation will be performed by anesthesiologist with C-MAC videolaryngoscope

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of glottic opening score

    Time frame: immediately before endotracheal intubation

    Percentage of glottic opening score of 100% denotes visualization of the entire glottis, from the anterior commissure of the vocal cords to the inter-arytenoid notch. If no part of the glottic opening was visualized, the POGO score was recorded as 0%

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to intubation

    Time frame: From beginning of holding videolaryngoscope to seeing two meaningful end-tidal carbon dioxide levels up to 3 minutes

    Time to intubation will be measured from the time the videolaryngoscope entered the patient's mouth until the first capnograph trace is seen on the monitor
