KingVision Video Laryngoscopy vs Direct Laryngoscopy - Equivalence Trial

At time of tracheal intubation, the subject will be intubated using the Ambu KingVision Video Laryngoscope with a size 1 aBlade. The first attempt to successful intubation will be assessed. The Cormack Lehane and Percentage of Glottic Opening scores will be recorded. Information on time to glottic view, time to removal of the blade, and time of first capnography upstroke (successful intubation) will be recorded. Other parameters measured will be information on subsequent attempts, ease of tracheal tube insertion, and hemodynamic responses for 5 minutes.
