Establish Whether Hyperangulated Videolaryngoscopy (HAVL) Can be Used to Facilitate Tracheal Intubation Effectively and Safely in Unselected Adult Patients; Describe the Population in Whom HAVL Fails to Facilitate Tracheal Intubation Successfully, Identifying Any Contributory Characteristics.

This study looks at a special camera called a McGrath videolaryngoscope, (X-blade type) used by anaesthetists to help place a breathing tube during surgery. We want to see if using it for all patients has extra benefits, especially for safe and effective breathing tube placement.
