Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the optimal oxygen flow rate needed during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) using Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1 in the operating room or intensive care unit. The investigators hypothesize that the difference between low-flow and high-flow supplemental oxygen is negligible.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Pediatric patients requiring oral or nasal tracheal intubation for elective, semi-elective, or urgent surgical and non-surgical indications. * Neonates and infants up to 52 weeks postconceptual age, with legal guardians providing written informed consent before the intervention Exclusion Criteria: * Prediction of difficult intubation upon physical examination or previous history of difficult intubation, mandating a technique different than direct laryngoscopy to secure the airway; * Congenital heart disease demanding FiO2 \< 1.0 * Cardiopulmonary collapse requiring advanced life support * Intubation for emergency surgical and non-surgical indications.
