About

The aim of this study is to compare the EzVision® videoryngoscope with conventional laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade in patients with suspected difficult intubation. This study primarily aims to test the hypothesis that laryngoscopy image is better with EzVision® videoryngoscopy compared to direct laryngoscopy. The secondary hypothesis is also to test the view that, compared to direct laryngoscopy, EzVision® videolingoscopy will improve intubation success, reduce intubation attempts, shorten intubation time, facilitate intubation, and cause less additional complications such as bleeding or sore throat.
