Brief Summary

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

Reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission of germs related to the reusability of the laryngoscope handle. The alternative is to replace it with a disposable device, provided that it is as effective as the reference strategy at a reasonable cost.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group SU (Single use or Laryngobloc ®) ®)

In order to avoid an order effect, the patient acting as his own control, will randomly undergo a laryngoscopy with each laryngoscopes, the intubation being performed during the second laryngoscopy, here with the Laryngobloc ®.

Group Type OTHER

The two groups SU and R are defined by the device with which intubation is performed after a first laryngoscopy done with the other device.

Intervention Type DEVICE

Group SU (Single Use or Laryngobloc ®): the first laryngoscopy is performed with the R and the second laryngoscopy and the intubation is performed with the Laryngobloc ®.

Group R (Reusable handle+ disposable metal blade): the first laryngoscopy is performed with the Laryngobloc ® and the second laryngoscopy and the intubation is performed with the R.

Group R (Reusable handle)

In order to avoid an order effect, the patient acting as his own control, will randomly undergo a laryngoscopy with each laryngoscopes, the intubation being performed during the second laryngoscopy, here with the Disposable Metal Blade.

Group Type OTHER

Group SU (Single Use or Laryngobloc ®): the first laryngoscopy is performed with the R and the second laryngoscopy and the intubation is performed with the Laryngobloc ®.

Group R (Reusable handle+ disposable metal blade): the first laryngoscopy is performed with the Laryngobloc ® and the second laryngoscopy and the intubation is performed with the R.
