Treatments
Experimental: Video Laryngoscope (VL)
The intubation process will utilize the Besdata (BD-M7) Portable Video Laryngoscope (VL), which is an indirect laryngoscope without a channel. We use a curved rigid stylet that is pre-shaped to match the laryngoscope blade, allowing for intubation with either a size 3 or 4 blade. In this research, the time taken for intubation will be recorded using an external timer. This involves measuring the interval from when the blade is inserted into the patient's mouth to the detection of the first capnography wave, while simultaneously using the timer to monitor vital parameters.
Active_comparator: Direct Laryngoscope (DL)
Endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion via Direct Laryngoscope (DL) with a blade size of either 3 or 4 in the patients; the same external timer will be used as for group VL.~Laryngoscopy in both groups will be conducted by an anaesthetist with a minimum of five years of experience in anaesthesia practice, ensuring the provision of high-quality care across both groups.
