Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Time, success rate, and number of optimising maneuvers for tracheal intubation via the nasal approach are not different when Aitraq technique is used compared to a standard MacIntosh blade.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One hundred adult patients with an expected easy intubation and 100 patients with an expected difficult intubation are enrolled. Intubations are performed by two experienced fully boarded anesthesiologists. The design of the study is prospective and randomised.
