Comparison of two different positions of an anaesthesiologist for ease of endotracheal intubation in adult patients: A randomised control trial

Maintaining the airway with a cuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) in the trachea remains one of the most essential anaesthesia skills. Many parameters were described to assess the difficulty of intubation in the preoperative period, but none allow the prediction of all difficult intubations. The correct posture of the anaesthesiologist is also an important factor for successful endotracheal intubation. The aim of this study was. This study aimed to compare the impact of two different positions of an anaesthesiologist (sitting vs. standing) at the time of endotracheal intubation.
