Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study is in two parts
Part one of the study describes the use of the new single-use flexible video-scope for intubation of patients with predicted normal airways.
Part two compares the performance of the single-use flexible video-scope with that of a conventional flexible video-scope for awake intubation of patients with predicted difficult airways.
The hypothesis is that the new single-use flexible video-scope for intubation performs as well as the traditional scope.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
time for completion of intubation
Time Frame: September 2010
This, the time for intubation, is measured immediately during the intubation, on the day that the specific patient participates in the study
Secondary Outcomes
- time for preparing and cleaning the endoscopes(september 2010)
- number of intubation attempts(september 2010)
- success rate of endotracheal intubation(september 2010)
- total time for the intubation-procedure inclusive the time for distributing local analgesics(september 2010)
- Quality of the image from the videoscope(september 2010)
- Evaluation of the insertion cord of the flexible scope(september 2010)
- Evaluation of the working-/-injection-channel(september 2010)
