Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Nasal Obstruction; Lumbar Stenosis, Familial

• Registration Number: NCT02519647
• Lead Sponsor: University of Lausanne Hospitals

Brief Summary

Intubation with an unchanneled videolaryngoscope mandates the use of a stylet. The Gliderite is a stylet specially designed for videolaryngoscopes. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of a new designed bougie for intubation in patients with simulated difficult airways.

Detailed Description

Intubation with an unchanneled videolaryngoscope mandates the use of a stylet. The Gliderite is a stylet specially designed for videolaryngoscopes. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of a new designed bougie for intubation in patients with simulated difficult airways.

The primary endpoint will be time necessary for intubation, secondary endpoints will be injuries, ease of use and subjective assessment.
