Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Intubation; Difficult or Failed
• Interventions: Procedure: Conventional approach; Procedure: Face-to-face approach

• Registration Number: NCT06119360
• Lead Sponsor: Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong

Brief Summary

This study compares two different approaches of lightwand intubation techniques in cervical immobilized patients.

Detailed Description

This study compares two approaches in lightwand intubation techniques in cervical immobilized patients. One is a conventional approach that involves scooping movement with mandible protraction. The other is a face-to-face approach that inserts lightwand with a front-facing position. This study is conducted as a randomized, prospective, single-blinded design.
