Study Overview
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.
