Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: A patient who has age 18-65 years with ASA 1-3 is scheduled elective surgery under general anesthesia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Refuse to participate, predicted difficult intubation coagulopathy (platelet < 100000 or INR>1.5) or use antiplatelet or anticoagulant, nasal passage obstruction such as nasal polyp or nasopharyngeal mass, poor cardiopulmonary reserve, coronary artery disease, reactive airway disease

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Intubation time start counting from inserting FOB/modified nasopharyngeal airway until removing the flexible bronchoscope from the nare. Remove the flexible bronchoscope from the nare The timing was reviewed by video recording

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Rates of failed attempt After end of the intervention Oxygen saturation, intubation time, completely withdrawn bronchoscope from nares,Rates of failed intubation After end of the intervention Unsuccessful intubation within 3 attempts, Required intubation by attending anesthesiologist,Nasal bleeding Within 24 hours after end of the intervention The degree of visibility,Airway maneuver After end of the intervention Airway maneuver to obtain adequate laryngeal view
