Intubation Success Rate_Rigid Video Stylet Vs Video Laryngoscope

Not Applicable
Conditions
Intubation, Intratracheal
Interventions
Device: Rigid video stylet
Device: Video laryngoscope
Registration Number
NCT02769221
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

This study compare the intubation success rate between video laryngoscope and rigid video stylet in cervical spine surgery patients. Half of patients will receive endotracheal intubation by video laryngscope, other half of patients will receive endotracheal intubation by rigid video laryngoscope.

Detailed Description

Video laryngoscope and lightwand are widely used at endotracheal intubation in cervical spine patients.

Video laryngoscope is useful because of identification of anatomic structure around the oral cavity and vocal cord.

Rigid video stylet resemble lightwand, but it has a video at the end of stylet. So rigid video stylet is useful at confirmation of vocal cord.
