Summary

Videolaryngoscopy has become essential in airway management, providing improved glottis visualization and reducing intubation attempts. Proficiency in using videolaryngoscopes, especially those with hyperangulated blades, is crucial for challenging intubation cases. However, successful intubation with hyperangulated blades requires continuous training due to their unique shape. Despite the benefits, the high cost of commercial videolaryngoscopes limits their use, prompting the exploration of a cost-effective alternative-a self-built laryngoscope using a USB borescope. The study aims to compare its training effectiveness with a commercial hyperangulated blade videolaryngoscope, emphasizing accessible training options. The evaluation involves testing both devices on a Laerdal® intubation mannequin, focusing on the time to glottis visualization and the time to complete intubation.
