Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study is comparing of jaw thrust maneuver versus transillumination of anterior neck in intubation by flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope. This is a randomized clinical trial on 90 patients aged 18 – 65 year who are selected for elective surgeries. Inclusion criteria: ASA classification of I and II, Body Mass Index (BMI) 20-25 (normal), mallampati score I or II. Exclusion criteria: patients with head and neck surgery and cesarean session, excessive obesity, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases. We divided these patients into three groups randomly: 1. Oral intubation by flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope (FFL) using jaw thrust maneuver and pulling tongue 2. Oral intubation by FFL using transillumination of anterior neck, without inspection through bronchoscope 3. Oral intubation by FFL using transillumination of anterior neck and inspection through bronchoscope. Duration of intubation from insertion of bronchoscope until the end of intubation and removal of bronchoscope from the mouth and connecting the capnograph to tracheal tube is calculated by chronometer. Moreover the number of time which SPo2 drops, bradycardia arises, and suctioning, reventilation and reintubation is needed, will be recorded. The maximum times of attempt for intubation is two times and if within 90 seconds intubation does not succeed the patient will be excluded. After the surgery in recovery room and ward patients will be questioned for sore throat, hoarseness and dysphagia and points will be given to the associated group.

Other design features
The plan of anesthesia is explained for patients and after obtaining informed consent, they will be monitored completely, blood pressure is measured noninvasive and PETCO2 is measured by mainstream method. All intubation will be performed by a same person. The method of anesthesia for all of them is similar. Randomization is done by draw.
