Name Time Method Intubation time Within 5 minutes The time between entry of the nasotracheal tube into a nostril and appearance of a carbon dioxide wave on the monitor.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Epistaxis score When removing the video-laryngoscope grade 1 (no-epistaxis), grade 2 (mild, blood on the tube only), grade 3 (moderate, blood pooling in the pharynx), or grade 4 (severe: blood impedes intubation)
Numeric rating scale of intubation difficulty During intubation Subjective intubation difficulty from 0 (easiest) to 10 (most difficult)
Intubation difficulty scale During intubation The sum of score from seven variables including intubation attempts, supplementary operators, the use of alternative techniques, glottic exposure, the lifting force applied during laryngoscopy, the necessity of applied external laryngeal pressure, and position of vocal cords.
From 0 (easiest) to 8 (most difficult)
