Paratracheal pressure may have a role in the prevention of pulmonary aspiration. The effects of paratracheal pressure on glottic view, ease of facemask ventilation, or tracheal intubation are not studied yet. In this study, the subjects are divided into two groups (group I: paratracheal pressure applied during induction of anesthesia, group II: conventional Sellick's maneuver applied during induction of anesthesia). Investigators will assess the glottic view during direct laryngoscopy.
