About

To compare two hybrid techniques, flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a video laryngoscope and flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a laryngeal mask, that have recently shown promise as a way to increase first-attempt success rates and reduce complications in children with anticipated difficult intubation.

Enrollment: 116 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 1 month to 12 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Children from 1 month of age to less than 12 years of age who are expected to have a difficult intubation when undergoing routine surgery under general anesthesia.
