Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Tracheal intubation rate [30 minutes]

    Successful tracheal intubation rate

  2. Number of attempts [30 minutes]

    Number of attempts for a successful tracheal intubation

  3. Total time of intubation [15 minutes]

    Time needed to perform a tracheal intubation from the insertion of the video laryngoscope into the patient mouth

  4. Time to glottis visualization [15 minutes]

    Time needed to visualize the glottis from the insertion of the video laryngoscope into the patient mouth

  5. Cormack-Lehane grade [15 minutes]

    Cormack-Lehane grade observed at videolaryngoscopy Grade 1: Full view of glottis Grade 2: Partial view of glottis Grade 3: Only epiglottis seen, none of glottis seen Grade 4: Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of External laryngeal pressure [15 minutes]

    Rate of external laryngeal pressure during laryngoscopy

  2. Rate of of post-laryngoscopy side effects [24 hours]

    Rate of of post-laryngoscopy side effects (bleeding, postoperative sore throat and/or dysphonia)

  3. Rate of Desaturation [15 minutes]

    Rate of Desaturation (spO2 < 93%) during tracheal intubation attempts

  4. Satisfaction Scale [30 minutes]

    Clinicians Satisfaction with the use of the videolaryngoscope, expressed by a 0-10 numeric rating scale (0 = the worst videolaryngoscopy ever performed; 10 = the best videolaryngoscopy ever performed)
