The Rate of Successful Intubation and the Required Time for Intubation, Using Vie Scope and Macintosh Laryngoscope Will be Compared, in Order to Evaluate the Efficacy of Vie Scope in Comparison With Macintosh in Expected Easy Airways.

Vie Scope Versus Macintosh Laryngoscope in Expected Easy Airways: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The rate of successful intubation and the required time for intubation, using Vie Scope and Macintosh Laryngoscope will be compared, in order to evaluate the efficacy of Vie Scope in comparison with Macintosh in expected easy airways. Hence, a prospective randomized controlled single-blind superiority clinical trial will be conducted.

Inclusion criteria: patients of both sexes, positive or negative rapid test for COVID-19 or possible contamination, age ≥18 years old, BMI: 18.5 - 30 kg/m2, visualization of the glottis grade 1 or 2, according to Cormack-Lehane Classification.

Exclusion criteria: age under 18 years old, BMI under 18.5 kg/m2 and BMI over 30 kg/m2, visualization of the glottis grade 3 - 4, according to Cormack-Lehane Classification.

The laryngoscopy and intubation of the patients will be attempted by the same person-resident of Anesthesiology, under the supervision of experienced Anesthesiologist consultants.
