Brief Summary

Airway management in cervical spine injury patients is challenge for Anaesthesiologist. Tracheal intubation without neck immobilization can  result in devastating outcome and it becomes more difficult to visualize glottic opening using conventional laryngoscopy. Specialized devices like videolaryngoscopes  have come for airway management.

Airtraq is a channeled VL. It has exaggerated curvature of blade and an internal arrangement of optical components which provides high quality view of glottis without the need for alignment of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal axis.

McGrath is a non channeled VL with handle, camera stick and blade
