Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate, in patients undergoing tracheal intubation with a single-lumen tube under general anesthesia, whether pre-intubation warming and spiral deflation of the endotracheal tube reduce the force required for intubation compared with the conventional method.
