Study Description
Brief Summary
To investigate which shapes of stylet, hand techniques and possible condition that improve intubation successful rate and reduce the elapsed intubation time.

Detailed Description
Challenging airway is always a big issue in emergency room. However, better hand technique, stylet shapes and conditions affecting intubation successful rate, elapsed duration need further investigations. We compare two endotracheal tube holding position, two holding places, with or without epiglottis lift technique in this study. All intubation processes in the study will be recorded.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- intubation successful rate [through study completion, and average of 15minutes]
intubation more than 90 seconds considered as a failed intubation
Secondary Outcome Measures
- intubation elapsed time [through study completion, and average of 15minutes]
from insertion of endotracheal to the tube until proper placement of endotracheal tube
- insertion elapsed time [through study completion, and average of 15minutes]
from proper glottic view to the tube until proper placement of endotracheal tube
- difficulty of intubation [through study completion, and average of 15minutes]
