About this trial
There are currently two options that are utilized are artificial airways in the operating room as well in emergency medicine: the endotracheal tube and the supraglottic airway. However, with these devices, healthcare professionals often experience difficulty and/or failure in utilizing these devices during their first-pass at intubation. Additionally, military medics often forego intubation in favor of basic life support during prolonged resuscitation. This study aims to test a device, one that has been tested in over 100 cadavers, to determine if it is a viable and safer/more successful option for intubation.
