Study Summary
The "sniffing position" is widely accepted as a favorable position for direct laryngoscopy (DL) in both pediatric and adult patients. External anatomical markers are well documented to confirm proper 'sniffing position' in adults, but data on their use in the pediatric population is sparse. The investigators propose to define these markers in young children and investigate whether patients positioned using this standardized approach have better intubating conditions than those positioned randomly per the preference of the anesthesiologist.
Primary Outcome
To assess the difference in IDS scores between the study and control groups
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Airway positioning per specified protocol followed by Direct Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation
- PROCEDURE Airway positioning per provider preference followed by Direct Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation
