Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients 18-60 years with ASA grade 1-3 and BMI \< 35 that turn up for planned surgery that demands the use of orotracheal tubing and controlled ventilation will be randomly and consecutively enrolled in either of two groups. Patients in both groups will be anaesthetised with the same combination of drugs using Propofol and Remifentanyl or Fentanyl for induction of sleep, combined with Rocuronium for muscle relaxation.
After the induction and relaxation the intubation will be facilitated using either of two laryngoscopes. In the first group a conventional Macintosh laryngoscope, and in the second group a Stortz videolaryngoscope will be used. The time to intubation is defined as the time from grabbing the laryngoscope to when the tube has been inserted and end-tidal carbon dioxide appears on the monitor. Our hypothesis is that we will be able to achieve a faster intubation with the use of videolaryngoscope.
