Information provided by: Lawson Health Research Institute
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00400972
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nasal intubation assisted by GlideScope videolaryngoscopy is faster, easier, and less traumatic than nasal intubation with conventional direct laryngoscopy.

Nasal Intubation
Device: GlideScope videolaryngoscope
