GlideScope Video Laryngoscope Versus Fiberoptic Intubation
Summary
Following informed consent, patients will be randomly assigned to oral fiberoptic intubation or to oral intubation using the GlideScope Video Laryngoscope. Following the induction of general anesthesia a sealed envelope would be opened to reveal the technique to be used. A stop watch will be started at the beginning of the procedure. At the completion of intubation the stop watch will be stopped and the time recorded along with other data. Based on a sample size estimation process, it is the investigators plan to study fifty patients. The two techniques will be compared in terms of the average time needed to place the endotracheal tube and studied using a two-sided T-Test with a significance level of 0.05. To ensure comparability between the two methods, all intubators will be required to have at experienced at least 10 uses of the GlideScope and 10 uses with fiberoptic intubation.

Video-assisted Surgery
Endoscopic surgical procedures performed with visualization via video transmission. When real-time video is combined interactively with prior CT scans or MRI images, this is called image-guided surgery (see SURGERY, COMPUTER-ASSISTED).
Video Games
A form of interactive entertainment in which the player controls electronically generated images that appear on a video display screen. This includes video games played in the home on special machines or home computers, and those played in arcades. (McGraw Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, 7th ed, v19, p223)
Thoracic Surgery, Video-assisted
Endoscopic surgery of the pleural cavity performed with visualization via video transmission.
