Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard for securing the airway. However, while managing
patients with difficult airways, various supraglottic devices have been used as rescue airway
devices. The aim of this study is to compare the fiberoptic view through the internal aspect
of the i-gel versus the Air-Q LMA in pediatric patients. By examining the fiberoptic view
through these two devices, the investigators will determine which device provides a clearer
passage to the glottic opening and is therefore the preferred conduit to aid endotracheal
intubation in difficult airways.
