Improvement of Laryngoscopic View by Bed-up-head-elevated Position During Tracheal Intubation in Paediatric Patients

Malaysia125 participantsStarted 2023-03-01

Plain-language summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to learn about improvement of laryngoscopic view by Bed-Up-Head-Elevated (BUHE) during tracheal intubation in paediatric patients. The main question it aims to answer is: 1\. Does BUHE position improve laryngoscopic view during paediatric intubation? Participants age 3-12 year-old going for elective surgery under general anaesthesia requiring tracheal intubation will undergo laryngoscopic twice, first in sniffing position (SP) and second during BUHE position. POGO score during each laryngoscope will be compared. Additionally, ease of handling of laryngoscope during each position will be assessed.
