A Randomized, Prospective Study to Compare the Video Miller Device to Direct Laryngoscopy Using a Standard Pediatric Miller Blade for Tracheal Intubation of Children < 3 Years of Age Undergoing General Anesthesia

The purpose of this study is to compare:

the standard pediatric intubation instrument (Miller blade) used as direct laryngoscopy
during tracheal intubation to the VideoMiller device (the standard pediatric blade with a
camera attached, giving indirect view of the vocal cords in the screen). This intubation
device is used to place the tube in the trachea to keep the patient breathing during the
surgery procedure.

The anesthesiologist obtains a better view of the vocal cords looking at the screen provided
by the VideoMiller.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged 3 years or younger undergoing anesthesia requiring endotracheal
intubation.

2. Obtaining signed the informed consent by their parents or legal guardian.

3. American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification I - II or
III

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients deemed to be at significant airway risk necessitating an awake fiber optic
intubation

2. Patients with facial abnormalities, and/or oral-pharyngeal malformation.

3. Emergency operation
