Summary

Airway securing through the placement of an endotracheal tube continues to be the definitive and the global standard management. The successful first attempt is aimed to avoid the consequences of multiple intubation trials as bleeding, tissue swelling, and airway contamination from gastric content that led to considerable morbidity and mortality. Visualization of the larynx and the glottic opening is the key to first-pass success requiring long-term training and availability of specific equipment concerned to that. For confirmation of the position endotracheal tube or its displacement, various clinical and equipment aids to that which are not valid or limited in different scenarios. Video laryngoscopes (VL) have been proposed to improve laryngeal visualization, hence a higher first-pass success rate accomplished. Despite that, there are limitations of video laryngoscope use in different circumstances that requiring adding of other aids to facilitate endotracheal intubation. x

Detailed description

Airway securing through the placement of an endotracheal tube continues to be the definitive and the global standard management. The successful first attempt is aimed to avoid the consequences of multiple intubation trials as bleeding, tissue swelling, and airway contamination from gastric content that led to considerable morbidity and mortality. Visualization of the larynx and the glottic opening is the key to first-pass success requiring long-term training and availability of specific equipment concerned to that. For confirmation of the position endotracheal tube or its displacement, various clinical and equipment aids to that which are not valid or limited in different scenarios. Video laryngoscopes (VL) have been proposed to improve laryngeal visualization, hence a higher first-pass success rate accomplished. Despite that, there are limitations of video laryngoscope use in different circumstances that requiring adding of other aids to facilitate endotracheal intubation. The proposal of this study is to assess the feasibility and the impact of infrared/near-infrared (IRD) light on the performance of video-laryngoscopy and reduction of the time needed for endotracheal intubation and increase the credibility of the device. Data-collection will be started after induction of the anesthesia and ended at the confirmation of endotracheal tube position

Conditions

• Airway Morbidity
• Covid19
• Trachea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Application of Infrared (Active IRD/ IRRIS) device	The first operator experienced with video-laryngoscopy intubation will do Before inducing anesthesia, the second operator will open the randomization envelope and adhere IRRIS/IRD device to the anterior skin of the neck above the sternal notch according to the group of patients After confirming lack of discomfort during application of the IRRIS/IRD device, After complete relaxation, Laryngoscopy will be performed by the first operator using video laryngoscope (Glidescope Verathon Medical, BC, Canada or C-Mac Storz, Germany) to insert the tracheal tube. The endotracheal tube will be armed with a malleable stylet and to be molded to a curved 'hockey stick or the same curve of the laryngoscopic blade's shape. We will divide the patient according to device into two groups: 1. Group A: control group 2. Group B: Intervention group using Infrared
