Plain-language summary

The main hypothesis of this study is that there is a synergy between the use of the HELP position and the use of a McGrath® Mac videolaryngoscope to facilitate tracheal intubation during anesthesia. The HELP position is the patient positioning on the AirPal RAMP, the two cushions inflated, bringing the external auditory canal to the same level as the sus-sternal notch.
