Video assisted laryngoscope have a monitor that allows physicians to secure the airway under vision and additionally capture pictures and videos in real time, Indirect visualization of the laryngeal inlet provided by the newly designed video assisted laryngoscope facilitates tracheal intubation .

To obtain optimal visualisation of the glottis, direct laryngoscopy requires alignment of the oropharyngeal-laryngeal axes. However, duration of intubation and the success rate for securing the airway by tracheal intubation might have a significant impact on undesirable events like hypoxia or regurgitation. It can sometimes be challenging to place an endotracheal tube (ETT) in front of the glottis and advance it despite good visualization on the monitor, especially when a video laryngoscope (VL) with a hyper-angulated blade is used. This phenomena (great view but unable to intubate) is linked to VL blades that are, unlike the traditional Macintosh blade, hyperangulated. Because of the unique profile that follows the anatomical shape of the human airway, alignment of the oropharyngeal-laryngeal axes becomes unnecessary to visualize the glottis.

The new challenge is now to also bring the tip of the ETT to the level of the glottis, pass the glottis and advance the tube inside the trachea. Several techniques have been proposed to meet this challenge; many authors proposed using a stylet to give the tube the shape of a “hockey stick” to follow the curvature of the video blade. However, ETT placement is often associated with a prolonged time for intubation. Additionally, stylet use for video laryngoscopy has been linked to an increased risk of soft tissue injury of the upper airway.

The success of a Videolaryngoscope assisted intubation depends on multiple factors, such as blade design (acute angled or Macintosh like; channeled or non-channeled); quality of the image on the monitor, as well as the experience of the intubator .

Hence we hypothesize from above findings that for the same reasons mentioned in above studies, perhaps we may have an alternative device in the form of HugeMed  VL3 ,which could be comparable to the king vision non channeled device in terms of easy and quick intubation time.

Therefore, the present study is aimed at comparing the VL3 videolaryngoscope and the king vision video larygnoscope,  in terms of airway management times, performance indices, hemodynamics and complications, if any, in adult patients scheduled for elective surgery.
