Experience of an anesthesiologist as a predictor of difficulty during videolaryngoscopy

Abstract Background and Aim: Tracheal intubation using a videolaryngoscope does not require the alignment of the Oro-pharyngeal-laryngeal axes as is the case with direct laryngoscopes. The predictors of difficult direct laryngoscopy may thus, not be applicable to predict a difficult videolaryngoscopy. This study aims to assess the effect of years of experience of an anesthesiologist on the difficulty encountered during KingVision videolaryngoscope guided tracheal intubation.
