What this trial measures

  • Percentage of Glottic Opening (POGO) scoreFrom enrollment to the end of successful tracheal intubation, approximately 30 minutes.

    (0-25%; \>25-50%; \>50-75%; \>75-100%). Lower POGO scores correlate with a worse view of the glottic opening (Cormack-Lehane III-IV) and difficult laryngoscopy.
