Video laryngoscopes, scaleAbstract
Video laryngoscopes are relatively original devices placed in the market in order to make intubating patients easier as it´ s no neccessary anymore the alignment of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal shaft axis. The biggest constraint we face in its handling is the guide of the endotracheal tube to the glottis.
Cormack-Lehane scale is the gold standar we anesthesiologists use to evaluate glottis display with direct laryngoscopy. Today there´s no valid scale able to describe intubation difficulty with video laryngoscopes, maybe because the huge ammount of different devices available.
