Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Other
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Triple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Curved-tube
Giving additional curve to the endotracheal tube by simple preparation.
Connecting both ends of the endotracheal tube ("O" shape) for 5-min and releasing it provides additional anterior angle temporarily.
No Intervention: Control
No other manipulation of the endotracheal tube is done.
