Summary

Macintosh laryngoscope is still considered a standard for tracheal intubation, however, visualization of the glottis may be inadequate mainly in morbidly obese patients. The Vie Scope is a novel type of laryngoscope consisting of a straight, shielded, illuminated tube that offers intubation via a bougie using the paraglossal technique. In this prospective, non-randomized study, we tested the research hypothesis that the use of Vie Scope may improve visualization of the larynx in comparison with the Macintosh blade.
