Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: intubation using optiscope
The investigators are novice on optiscope. They will perform intubation using optiscope to patients scheduled elective surgery.
Optiscope (Clarus Medical, Minneapolis, MN, USA) is a semi-rigid fiberscope designed for endotracheal intubation. Anesthetic providers who are novice on optiscope will perform intubation using optiscope.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
time to intubation
Time Frame: intubation period
Time to intubation (from optiscope insertion to the detection of end tidal CO2) will be recorded. If time to inubation is longer than 180 s or pulse oxymetry is lower than 94%, mask ventilation will be performed. If intubation is not successful within 3 trials, it will be performed using direct laryngoscope.
