About

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of C-Mac videolaryngoscopy with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 on the intubation conditions in children less than 2 years age with a roll inserted under the shoulders.

Full description

The laryngoscopic view of the glottis is improved when the angle of the line of vision between the pharyngeal - laryngeal axis and the oral cavity axis is narrow. A roll inserted under the shoulders of the infant will help line up the oral, laryngeal, and pharyngeal axes making direct laryngoscopy easier.

The investigators hypothesized that laryngoscopic view and intubation conditions using C-Mac videolaryngoscope with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 would be better with a roll under shoulder in children under 2 years.
