Brief summary
The study aims to compare the efficacy of the Ambu AuraGain to that of the Air Q ILA as a conduit for endotracheal intubation assisted by tube exchanger. The comparison will be in terms of total intubation time, success rate of insertion of the tube exchanger as well as endotracheal intubation and complications.
Detailed description
Very few studies discussed assisted endotrachealc intubation using certain tools as bougie through the Air Q ILA . the hypothesis in this study is that the use of flexible, small calibre tube exchanger introduced through both supraglottic devices into the trachea as guidance for endotracheal intubation, will have shorter intubation time with the Ambu AuraGain than the Air Q ILA and less complications in both devices.
Interventions
DEVICEcook ®Airway Exchanger Catheter
