Difficult Intubation, Difficult Mask Ventilation

Brief summary

C-MAC- Video Stylet is a completely new type of video endoscope. It combines the advantages of both rigid and flexible intubation endoscopes.

Detailed description

C-MAC-VS can be connected easily to the same C- MAC monitor and Pocket Monitor without requiring any additional light source and camera. This device is great for cases with limited mouth opening, airway obstruction and difficult intubation.

Interventions

DEVICEC-MAC VS

The first group (VS group) will include patients undergoing awake intubation using the C-MAC VS

DEVICEflexible fibreoptic bronchoscope

The second control group (FOB group) will include patients undergoing awake intubation using the flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope.

PARALLEL

Primary purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Masking

DOUBLE (Subject, Investigator)

Intervention model description

The patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups using computer-generated randomization technique. The first group (VS group) will include patients undergoing awake intubation using the C-MAC VS. The second control group (FOB group) will include patients undergoing awake intubation using the flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope.
