Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to being intubated with either the conventional (reusable) GlideScope videolaryngoscope or the single-use GlideScope videolaryngoscope. The primary outcome is time to intubation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Any patient who is ≥ 18 yrs. coming for elective surgery.
• Endotracheal tube is indicated for the procedure in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
• Any operator who has performed ≥ 10 GlideScope intubations.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any patient in whom the use of the GlideScope is contraindicated in the opinion of the attending anesthesiologist.
• Any patient with cervical spine abnormalities.
• Any patients with known or probable difficult airways (this rare occurrence is unlikely to be evenly distributed between the groups and could skew the data).
• Any patient requiring rapid sequence induction.
