Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Our primary parameter is: Measuring the space on the right side of the videolaryngoscope blade and the palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening (Mallampati I, II and III).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Investigating how this space differs from the space that remains on the right side of the blade of the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the palatopharyngeal wall in the same cohort of patients. Comparing the difference in remaining space between the different videolaryngoscopes. Registering difficulty of intubation (Cormack-Lehane score), successful intubation, use of rigid stylet, number of attempts, time until picking up endotracheal tube, epiglottic downfolding and any complication during intubation.	—
