Patients who are scheduled for maxillofacial surgery where nasal intubation would be appropriate to deliver surgical anesthesia and who consent to participate will be studied. A single experienced operator with at least 5 years of clinical anesthetic experience will perform the clinical examination and intubation. Routine monitors will be applied and peripheral intravenous access will be established. Oxygen will be given via face mask. Anesthesia induction using intravenous fentanyl (2.5 mcg/kg), propofol (1-2 mg/kg) and rocuronium (0.5-1mg/kg) will be administered for muscle relaxation. The nostril that the patient finds easy to breathe through will be chosen for intubation. If nostril conditions are the same on both sides the right nostril will be preferred for intubation. The tracheal tube (internal diameter [ID] 7 mm for males or 6.0 mm for females) will be coated with lubricating gel and gently inserted into the patients' selected nostril. Those assigned to the Parker Flex-Tip endotracheal tube will have a curved stylette inserted in the tube before induction and the bevel will be inserted facing posteriorly. Those assigned to the standard nasal RAE endotracheal tube will have the bevel facing leftward. Both study groups will have the ETT warmed and lubricated prior to insertion.
