Endotracheal Intubation Risk Assessment, Endotracheal Intubation Using Videolaryngoscope for General Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is aimed to compare different tools of endotracheal intubation in supine versus lateral position in patients with neck masses. Primary outcome: is time taken for intubation. Secondary outcomes: * The success rate of first intubation trial. * Hypoxia, Spo2 \< 90%. * Airway trauma like; dental and lip injury.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| time taken for intubation | periprocedural (less than 60 seconds) | the time for the laryngoscope to pass level of incisors till confirmation of tracheal intubation by capnography |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| - The success rate of first intubation trial. | through study completion (about 8 months) | Number of intubation attempts (an intubation attempt will be deemed failed if desaturation occurs Spo2 \<90 % or intubation failed in \<60 seconds). Intubations will be deemed failures after 3 intubation attempts. |
