A Comparison of Cervical Spine Movement During Tracheal Intubation Using the Pentax or the Glidescope

May 3, 2011 updated by: Prince of Songkla University
Both Glide scope and Pentax laryngoscope are video laryngoscope that provide the better view with minimal cervical spine movement. This study wants to compare cervical spine movement during intubation when using these two devices. The C-spine motion will be recorded by using fluoroscopic video to measure the angular displacement of the vertebrae.
