Study aim
-
The overall purpose of this trial is to compare the use of Magnet with Magill forceps in success rate of children's nasal intubation.
Specific puposes of the project include:
1) Measure the duration of intubation in both groups.
2) Compare the number of attempts to intubate between the two groups.
3) Determine changes in vital signs during intubation between the two groups.

Design
-
Clinical trials with control groups, with parallel groups,not blinded and randomized
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study will be conducted in the operating rooms of Tabriz Children's Hospital. Intubation in both groups is performed by expert anesthesiologist at children's anesthesia and the time of intubation will be also recorded by a second anesthetist in the questionnaire. The questionnaire contains basic patient information including sex, weight, age, vital signs and other variables .

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Entry requirements include children aged 3 to 10 years old - ASA I, II - adenotonsillectomy candidates and non-entry conditions including underlying illness (cardiovascular, renal, coagulopathy), maxillofacial anomalies – past difficult airway history and parents' dissatisfaction .
-
Intervention groups
-
Patients in both groups will receive 2 μg / kg fentanyl, 1mg midazolam, 0.5mg / kg atracurium, 1mg / kg lidocaine, 3.5-4.5 mg / kg propofol and anesthetized, after dripping 2-3 drops of phenylephrine in the nasal hole the endotracheal tube will be impregnated with lidocaine gel and inserted to the nasopharynx. After laryngoscopy in the first group, Magill forceps and in the second group the Magnet will be used to guide the tube to trachea.
