简要总结
The investigators aim to compare the new paediatric Airtraq indirect optical laryngoscope with conventional direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in a randomised crossover study during routine anaesthesia. The investigators hypothesise that the Airtraq is as good as conventional laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation of infants and children. This will be an equivalence rather than a non-inferiority study.

研究组 & 干预措施
Conventional
conventional laryngoscopy for intubation
Airtraq
laryngoscopy with Airtraq for intubation
干预措施: Airtraq laryngoscopy (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
time taken to successful intubation
时间窗: 30 mins
The primary outcome measure will be time taken to successful intubation. This will be recorded by a second operator using a handheld stopwatch or wall clock with second hand. Time will commence when the intubation device is handed to the anaesthetist, and stopped after the first successful inflation of the lungs (first upstroke of capnography trace).
次要结局
- Grade of laryngoscopy(30 mins)
- POGO score(30 mins)
- VAS ease of intubation(30 mins)
- evidence of traumatic intubation(24 hours)
