Conditions
Brief summary
This is a pilot study assessing feasibility, acceptability of a larger study, as well as to estimate the incidence of postoperative sore throat.. These results will inform a larger study that has the aim to assess patient experience outcomes following elective intubation comparing between DL and VL
Interventions
Video laryngoscopy
-The video laryngoscope is a device used during the induction of anesthesia to assist with endotracheal intubation. It consists of a handle with a screen and a blade. During intubation, the video laryngoscope blade is inserted into the patient's mouth to visualize the glottis and vocal cords on the screen. This visualization helps guide the endotracheal tube into the trachea.
-It is typically a one-time process per intubation attempt. The procedure duration can vary but genera

The procedure duration can vary but generally takes about 30 seconds to a minute. -To make this study pragmatic and feasible, intubations can be performed by either a consultant anaesthetist or by trainees who are supervised by a consultant anaesthetist. -Adherence to proper technique and use of video laryngoscope is monitored through procedural documentation.
