Detailed Description

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

Lightwands are very useful device for difficult airway management due to small moth opening, weak teeth, and cervical spine instability. Experienced clinicians use a lightwand while bending it adequately. However, there has been not previous studies to investigate the adequate angle to bend it.

This randomized controlled trial is to compare three angles (70, 80, and 90 degrees) as bending angle of lightwands for safe and efficient tracheal intubation in cases which require the use of lightwands.

70 degrees

During tracheal intubation using a lightwand, the tracheal tube combined with a lightwand will be bent by 70 degrees.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

For tracheal intubation, investigators will bend the tracheal tube combined a lightwand by assigned angles (70, 80, or 90 degrees) for each patient. Next a practitioner will perform tracheal intubation with the bent tube.

80 degrees

During tracheal intubation using a lightwand, the tracheal tube combined with a lightwand will be bent by 80 degrees.
