Abstract
You are an attending anesthesiologist in a university hospital. Today you are anesthetizing a 10-year-old girl for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. A medical student is with you, and after an uneventful anesthetic induction and endotracheal intubation by the medical student, the table is to be turned 90°. This is done to facilitate the surgery.
