Comparison of Glottic Views and Intubation Times in the Supine and 25 Degree Back-up Positions
In Brief
An observational study evaluating 25 degree back-up position for Elective Surgical Patients. Completed, enrolled 781 participants.
Detailed Summary
Our hypothesis is that the view of the glottis may be improved by putting all patients requiring intubation in the ramped or back up position while maintaining the classic sniffing position.
