Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180: Stylet-loaded Endotracheal Tube Rotation Before Insertion
Sponsor: Ohio State University
Summary
The main objective of the proposed study is to clarify whether rotating a stylet-loaded endotracheal tube (ETT) 180 degrees prior to intubation will decrease the incidence of postoperative throat soreness, when compared to standard technique used in Standard of Care.
Official title: Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180: Stylet-loaded Endotracheal Tube Rotation Before Insertion to Decrease the Risk of Postoperative Sore Throat: a Randomized Double-Blind Prospective Trial.

Conditions
Interventions
Direct Laryngoscope (DL)
DL allows visualization of the larynx. It is used during general anesthesia, for surgical procedures of the larynx, and during resuscitation.
Video laryngoscope (VL)
VL facilitates intubation while allowing clinicians to share and record real-time high-resolution images and video.
Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180
A novel maneuver has been described to decrease the insult from stylet named Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180; a clockwise rotation of the stylet-loaded Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180 degrees on its axis right after the tip of Endotracheal Tube (ETT) passes the patient's vocal cords (glottis) before fully inserting the Endotracheal Tube (ETT) and then, pulling the stylet out. This maneuverer allows the stylet to match the posterior angulation of the trachea.
