Does the Use of a Videolaryngoscope Modifies Anesthetic Induction ?

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Videolaryngoscopes become widely used. The aim of this study is to compare anesthetic induction when patients are tracheally intubated using a MacGraph Mac videolaryngoscope or a conventional MacIntosh laryngoscope.

Tracheal intubation induces a nociceptive stimulation. Hypothesis is that the use of a videolaryngoscope induces a less pronounced nociceptive stimulation and, consequently, that it modifies the anesthetic drugs requirement. .
