Modern alternatives to traditional laryngoscopes utilize fiber optic or digital technology to project images from the tip of the laryngoscope onto an eyepiece or monitor for improved visualization by the practitioner. Videolaryngoscopes have become an integral part of routine clinical practice and training programs, and a preferred option after failed DL (directional visualization). This study will compare two different videolaryngoscopes in pediatric participants.
Based on current literature data, it is suggested that videolaryngoscopy should be considered as the first choice in neonates and infants and that its integration into routine pediatric anesthesia practice may be appropriate. However, it is reported that videolaryngoscopy, compared to direct laryngoscopy, can partially separate the relationship between glottic visualization quality and tracheal tube placement difficulty. Currently, there is no standardized and widely accepted classification system specific to videolaryngoscopy tracheal intubation in pediatric patients. To address this deficiency, the Pediatric Videolaryngoscopic Intubation and Difficult Airway Classification (PeDiAC) score was developed and prospectively defined and validated to determine the difficulty level of pediatric videolaryngoscopy intubation. In this study, the diagnostic performance of the PeDiAC score was evaluated in comparison with the traditionally used Cormack-Lehane classification, and its superiority was investigated. In this planned study, the primary outcome to be evaluated is intubation time, while the secondary outcome is assessed using the PeDiAC score. The aim is to compare the difficulty of intubation between the two devices based on this score. This study aims to determine whether there are differences between the two different videolaryngoscopes in terms of similar clinical outcomes.

intubation time
The time elapsed from the passage of the laryngoscope blade through the teeth to the detection of end-tidal CO₂.
Time frame: 2 minutes after induction
PeDiAC Score
Determining the difficulty level of pediatric videolaryngoscopy intubation.
Time frame: 1 hour
Cormack-Lehane glottic view scale
The Cormack-Lehane glottic view classification describes laryngeal visualization during direct laryngoscopy: Grade I indicates a full view of the glottis, Grade II a partial view of the glottis, Grade III visualization of the epiglottis only, and Grade IV visualization of neither the glottis nor the epiglottis.
Time frame: 1 hour
Successful intubation attempt
The attempt is considered successful if tracheal intubation is achieved and unsuccessful if intubation fails. Recorded during airway management
Time frame: 1 hour
