Brief summary: Nasotracheal Intubation with Videolaryngoscopy versus Direct Laryngoscopy in Infants (NasoVISI) Trial is a prospective randomized multicenter study. The study will be conducted at 8 centers in the United States. It is expected that approximately 700 subjects enrolled to product 670 evaluable subjects.The randomization is 1:1 naso tracheal intubation with the Storz C-Mac Video Videolaryngoscopy (VL) or the Standard Direct Laryngoscope (DL). The primary objective is to compare the nasotracheal intubation (NTI) first attempt success rate using VL vs. DL in infants 0-365 days of age presenting for cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac catheterizations.

Detailed description: The primary objectives of the study are to compare the nasotracheal intubation (NTI) first attempt success rate using VL vs. DL in infants 0-365 days of age presenting for cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac catheterizations.

Secondary Objectives include the number of attempts for successful intubation; Incidence of failed NTI (conversion to oral intubation); Incidence of failure to intubate with assigned device; Incidence of complications over all attempts including non-severe and severe complications; Incidence of 1st-attempt complications; Need for cricoid pressure or external laryngeal manipulation, need for adjunct- (Magill forceps), rescue of one technique of the other, Percent of glottic opening (POGO) score less than 100%, intubation sequence exceeding 60 seconds and interaction analysis of weight group (i.e. ≤ median weight \& \> median weight (kg)), and by clinicians' experience with cardiac anesthesiology (i.e. Permanent full time team members \& rotating team members) on the association between treatment and outcomes

Study Design: this is a prospective, randomized, multi-center parallel group trial

Setting/Participants: This will be a multi-center study. The target population will be infants 0-365 days of age scheduled for elective cardiothoracic surgery or cardiac catheterization requiring general anesthesia with NTI.

Study Interventions and Measures: The study intervention will be a 1:1 randomization to perform tracheal intubation with the Storz C-Mac Video Videolaryngoscopy (VL) or the Standard Direct Laryngoscope (DL).

Main study outcome measures are as follows:

* The first intubation attempt success rate with each device
* The number of attempts for successful intubation with each device
* Complications associated with intubation

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Males or females age 0 -365 days
* Scheduled for elective cardiothoracic surgery or cardiac catheterization procedures lasting longer than 30 minutes under general anesthesia where nasotracheal intubation will be performed by an anesthesiology clinician
* Plan to use a neuromuscular blocking drug prior to intubation as standard of care
* Parental/guardian permission (informed consent)

For clinician participants:

- Anesthesia attending, anesthesia fellows, anesthesia resident, Anesthesia Assistant (AA) or CRNA

Exclusion Criteria:

* Less than 36 weeks gestation
* Less than 2 kg
* History of difficult intubation
* History of abnormal airway
* Predictive of difficult intubation upon physical examination
* Preoperative endotracheal tube or tracheostomy
* Emergency cases
