Comparison of Intubation Conditions Between the Gliderite and the S-Guide

Comparison of Intubation Conditions Between the Gliderite and the S-Guide in Patients With Simulated Difficult Airways

Intubation with an unchanneled videolaryngoscope mandates the use of a stylet. The Gliderite is a stylet specially designed for videolaryngoscopes. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of a new designed bougie for intubation in patients with simulated difficult airways.
