Brief summary

This research is designed specifically to compare the performance before and after exposure to the Ambu Ascope in the clinical setting for scope guided intubation. Endpoints will be GRS score, success in intubation and time taken for intubation on the first and 5th attempts with Ascope. The null hypothesis for this research project is that there is no difference in GRS score before and after 5 attempts with Ambu Ascope

Interventions

Ascope assisted orotracheal intubations will be performed on anaesthetised patients Operators given set of 5 Ascopes - operators are composed of 5 consultant anaesthetists and 3 anaesthesia registrars 1st to 5th attempt will be recorded on notebook PC. All attempts are carried out on different patients. Ascope will be used for each attempt GRS score evaluated on recordings
