Summary
This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glycopyrrolate as an
antisialagogue prior to intubation with the rigid-videostylet(Optiscope®) in the general
anesthesia settings. Upper airway secretions limit the use of the videostylet during during
endotracheal intubation. Therefore, in this study, patients will be allocated to either of
the two groups according to the administration of glycopyrrolate and the effect of
glycopyrrolate in reducing oral secretions will be assessed by the observer while intubating
with the rigid-videostylet. The efficacy of the antisialagogic effect on the view during
endotracheal intubation will be evaluated.
