When participants are taken to the room, an observer will be in the operation room. There was no emergency to the patient's primary anesthesiologist, will not be involved. Record patients' demographic data, Mallampati scores, thyromental distance, and neck circumference. The airway method preferred by the physician, procedure duration, number of attempts, success, and complications will be recorded.
