Airway management is the assessment, planning and series of medical procedures required to maintain or restore an individual’s ventilation or oxygenation.

A difficult airway is a situation in which a healthcare provider who can manage airway encounters difficulty with standard methods of airway management. Its definition is not standardised as there are some variations between national expert guidelines. The American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) defines a difficult airway as existing when “a conventionally trained anaesthesiologist experiences difficulty with facemask ventilation of the upper airway, difficulty with tracheal intubation, or both.” King Vision is a light weighted portable, selfcontained, battery operated video laryngoscope which is also water resistant. It has disposable blade which has a channel for Endotracheal tube insertion. It also has an anti-fogging mechanism.

TAScope (The Anaesthetist Society scope) is a video laryngoscope which aids in passing the tube in difficult airways. It utilizes boroscope camera(5.5 mm diameter HD camera) connectable to any laptop or even compatible mobiles or tablet, which becomes the screen for intubation. It also has a channel facilitating the insertion of bougie, on which endotracheal tube is railroaded over it under vision. It is useful for patients.
