Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective randomized clinical study to be performed in pediatric patients under the age of 2 years who are undergoing surgical procedures requiring endotracheal intubation. Time to endotracheal intubation will be compared between patients intubated using a GlideScope® video laryngoscope, those intubated with a Storz DCI® video laryngoscope, and those intubated by standard direct laryngoscopy. The study hypothesis is that the time to endotracheal intubation will be decreased in the Storz DCI® video laryngoscope group when compared to the GlideScope® video laryngoscope group and standard laryngoscopy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measurement of Time to Intubation Will Begin at the Time of Mouth Opening and End With the Removal of the Tip of the Laryngoscope Blade From the Patient's Mouth After Successful Endotracheal Intubation.		Less than one day, representing the day of surgery and period of endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia
Secondary	Successful Intubation After One Laryngoscopy Attempt	Other secondary outcome measures will be the use of external laryngeal manipulation to improve glottic view, tissue trauma and type,and method of rescue if initial intubation attempt proves unsuccessful.	Less than one day, representing the day of surgery and period of endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia.
Secondary	Successful Intubation After Two Laryngoscopy Attempts		Less than one day, representing the day of surgery and period of endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia.
Secondary	Successful Intubation After Three Laryngoscopy Attempts		Less than one day, representing the day of surgery and period of endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia.
Secondary	Successful Intubation After Four Laryngoscopy Attempts		Through endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia, an average of 10 minutes
