What this study is

The main objective of the proposed study is to clarify whether rotating a stylet-loaded endotracheal tube (ETT) 180 degrees prior to intubation will decrease the incidence of postoperative throat soreness, when compared to standard technique used in Standard of Care.

What's being tested

  • Direct Laryngoscope (DL)

    Intervention · DEVICE

    DL allows visualization of the larynx. It is used during general anesthesia, for surgical procedures of the larynx, and during resuscitation.

  • Video laryngoscope (VL)

    Intervention · DEVICE

    VL facilitates intubation while allowing clinicians to share and record real-time high-resolution images and video.

  • Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180

    Intervention · PROCEDURE

    A novel maneuver has been described to decrease the insult from stylet named Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180; a clockwise rotation of the stylet-loaded Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180 degrees on its axis right after the tip of Endotracheal Tube (ETT) passes the patient's vocal cords (glottis) before fully inserting the Endotracheal Tube (ETT) and then, pulling the stylet out. This maneuverer allows the stylet to match the posterior angulation of the trachea.
