Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Intubation time in seconds[At the end of tracheal intubation]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
ease of intubation will be assessed at the end of endotracheal intubation by asking the anesthesiologist to indicate the level of easiness using a scale from 0 (the easiest intubation) to 10 (most difficult intubation)[at the end of tracheal intuabtion];view of glottic opening will be assessed at the end of tracheal intubation by asking the anesthesiologist to give his feedback regarding the visualization of the glottic opening using the Lehane and Cromack classification (well known to anesthesiologists)[at the end of tracheal intubation];Number of intubation attempt[at the end of tracheal intubation];number of failed intubation[at the end of tracheal intubation]
