Brief Summary

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

This study will be conducted as a prospective observational study

This study will be done in any of the operating theatres of University Malaya Medical Centre

This study will involve paediatric cases ( ages 3-12 years )posted for elective operations which require general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation

Ambu Aura Gain will be used as a conduit for intubation

Detailed Description

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

All eligible participants will be approached and recruited Informed consent will be obtained Induction of general anesthesia will be as per usual standardized method Ambu® Auragain™ will be inserted A paediatric flexible endoscope will be used to view the glottis and railroad an endotracheal tube into the trachea Placement is confirmed and number of attempts and time required for successful intubation is recorded Ambu® Auragain™ will be removed Number of attempts and time taken for removal of Ambu® Auragain™ will be recorded Any complications will be noted and recorded
