About this study

The hypothesis of this study is that shaping endotracheal tube by end-to-end connection before induction will provide more optimal angulation for endotracheal intubation.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery requiring general anesthesia and tracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with congenital or acquired upper airway lesions
  • Patients with high risk of aspiration

Treatment and study plan

Curved-tube

Other

Connecting both ends of the endotracheal tube ("O" shape) for 5-min and releasing it provides additional anterior angle temporarily.

Primary outcomes

  1. Successful intubation on first attempt

    Time frame: On endotracheal intubation up to 1 min

    Whether successful intubation is done on first attempt or on additional attempt

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to intubate (TIT)

    Time frame: On endotracheal intubation up to 1 min

    The TIT started when the blade first passed the lips, and ended when the the detection of end-tidal CO2 trace
