Official Title: The Articulated Oral Airway as an Aid to Mask Ventilation, a Prospective Interventional, Non-Inferiority Study

Brief Summary: The Articulating Oral Airway (AOA) is a novel oral airway which actively displaces the tongue, allowing for a greater cross-sectional area for mask ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that, in patients with predictors for difficult mask ventilation, the AOA will be non-inferior to the Geudel oral airway in terms of expired tidal volumes.
