  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: neck flexion first

With specific head posture, intubation is done under flexible fiberoscopy guide.

In this arm, at the position with neck flexion, fiberoscopy is pulled into the mouth and get the photo of laryngeal view. After then, neck position is changed to neck extension, And the laryngeal view is gotten in the same way.
Procedure: Intubation
Experimental: neck extension first
In this arm, at the position with neck extension, fiberoscopy is pulled into the mouth and get the photo of laryngeal view. After then, neck position is changed to neck flexion, And the laryngeal view is gotten in the same way.
Procedure: Intubation
