Brief Summary   As anaesthesiologists we deal with airway every day and almost every case. Many cases of difficult tracheal intubation remain unrecognized until after induction of anaesthesia. Endotracheal intubation using direct laryngoscope is gold standard for securing a patient’s airway and is widely used. Video laryngoscopes ar relatively recent entrants in the field of laryngoscopes with the benefit of better glottic view.
 The paediatric Airtraq  is a rigid optical laryngoscope which offers the advantage of better glottis display in neutral position. Designed to facilitate complete visualization of the airway throughout the process of intubation. The blade comprises of two channels, one channel acts as a conduit through which the tracheal tube is passed whilst the other contains a light source and a series of lenses and mirrors that reflect the image from the tip of the blade to the viewfinder at the proximal end of the scope. Image can be viewed through the viewfinder.
The McGrath video laryngoscope is a non- channeled video laryngoscope with a Macintosh type blade which provides a view of glottis on the monitor. It consists of three main parts: handle, camera stick and blade. A monitor is mounted on top of the handle allowing the operator to focus into the anatomical detail with clarity.
Here we aim to compare Airtraq with McGrath laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery.
