Comparison of Two Blades of Videolaryngoscope in Simulated Difficult Airway in Children

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Intubation;Difficult
• Interventions: Other: simulated difficult airway; Device: D-blade of videolaryngoscope; Device: Macintosh videolaryngoscope

• Registration Number: NCT03719638
• Lead Sponsor: Kocaeli University

Brief Summary

Airway management and tracheal intubation are routinely performed in paediatric anaesthesia and yet are associated with preventable adverse events. The D-blade of videolaryngoscope is preferred in difficult intubation with a more curved blade then the Macintosh videolaryngoscope blade, which may be more useful in difficult intubation. The aim of the study is to compare the D-blade of videolaryngoscope with Macintosh videolaryngoscope blade.
