Purpose
Orotracheal intubation following general anesthesia requires blades to be performed. The risk of patients contamination with infectious agents related to reusable metal blades leads to promote single-use blades. Some of these latter are plastic and this material may need more strength to lift the jaw and expose the larynx before orotracheal intubation. Sometimes, change of blade, from plastic to metal, during the procedure is necessary to increase the larynx exposure. This change of blade may increase the frequency of sore throat following orotracheal intubation.
Consequently, the study hypothesis is an increase of both sore throat intensity and frequency with the plastic blades compared with the metal blades.
The primary purpose of the present study is to compare the impact of these two types of blades, metal versus plastic, on sore throat intensity and frequency following scheduled orotracheal intubation for general anesthesia

Primary Outcome Measures:
- The frequency of patients presenting a post-operative sore throat whose intensity is above 4 on a visual analogue scale (VAS) graded from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain) collected at the discharge of the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). [ Time Frame: Two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The frequency of patients presenting a post-operative sore throat whose intensity is different from 0/10 without swallowing [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- The pain intensity will be measured at the discharge of the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) with a slide ruler displaying a visual analogue scale graded from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain) on the blinded face [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The pain will be evaluated everyday during two days. If the pain persists, it will be evaluated everyday till the pain disappears or till the end of the patient participation (seven days).
- the degree of voice modification on a VAS [ Time Frame: Seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]dysphonia
- the sore throat VAS during swallowing. [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]dysphagia
- jaw pain [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- lips injuries [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- dental injuries [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- blood on the blade [ Time Frame: seven days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- the intubation difficulty score (IDS) [ Time Frame: one day ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- the frequency of difficult intubation [ Time Frame: Two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- the frequency of change of blade during the tracheal intubation procedure [ Time Frame: two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- the tracheal intubation duration. [ Time Frame: one day ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
