Adult Patients Undergoing Surgery That Requires General Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the adequacy of mask ventilation with the different sized-oropharyngeal airway.
Interventions
the use of 7 cm sized-oropharyngeal airway (Guedel-type color coded oropharyngeal airway, Hudson RCI, Teleflex Medical, Research Triangle Park, NC)
the use of 8 cm sized-oropharyngeal airway (Guedel-type color coded oropharyngeal airway, Hudson RCI, Teleflex Medical, Research Triangle Park, NC)
the use of 9 cm sized-oropharyngeal airway (Guedel-type color coded oropharyngeal airway, Hudson RCI, Teleflex Medical, Research Triangle Park, NC)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the proportion of patients whose oropharyngeal airway is proper | up to 10 minutes after the start of anesthetic induction | The oropharyngeal airway will be inserted into the patient's mouth. Investigators will check the laryngeal view using fiberoptic bronchoscope and the adequacy of ventilation after the investigator ventilates the patient using the face mask. If both the laryngeal view and ventilation are appropriate, the size of oropharyngeal airway will be considered as the proper size for the patient. |
