Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The prime responsibility and aim of any anesthesiologist is the maintenance of airway. From the
time endotracheal intubation was introduced, undue problems have occurred due to failed
ventilation and tracheal intubation. Many studies have proved that airway mismanagement
occurs in most cases due to lack of proper expertise and equipments.

 The ILMA was considered as the “gold standard” among the
supraglottic airway devices when it was initially released for use. It has showed a high success
rate for blind or fibreoptic-guided tracheal intubation in patients with both expected and
unexpected difficult airways. Another objective of use of ILMA was to eliminate the need to
distort the anterior pharyngeal anatomy in order to visualize the laryngeal inlet, making the device
applicable to patients with a history of difficult intubation and a high or anterior larynx.

There are number of studies comparing ILMA with other supraglottic airway devices with respect
to obtundation of pressor response, ease of intubation and time taken for intubation. But there is
paucity of studies comparing blind intubation with ILMA and intubation with further aided by
use of video endoscopes. Hence present study is planned to compare the ease of intubation
between intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) alone and that with flexible intubating video
endoscope (FIVE).
