Objectives:
* Primary Objective To compare the tracheal intubation (TI) first attempt success rate using VL vs. DL in children ≤ 12 months old.
* Secondary Objectives To compare the lowest oxygen saturation during tracheal intubation with VL vs. DL.
Study Design:
Prospective, randomized, multi-center parallel group trial
Setting/Participants:
This will be a multi-center study with a minimum of four participating centers. The target population will be children ≤ 12 months age scheduled for elective surgery requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
Study Interventions and Measures:
The study intervention will be a 1:1 randomization to perform tracheal intubation with the Storz C-Mac Miller 1 (VL) or the conventional Miller laryngoscope (DL).
Main study outcome measures are as follows:
* The first intubation attempt success rate with each device
* The number of attempts for successful intubation with each device
* Complications associated with intubation
