To compare the pediatric TruView EVO2 and Airtraq laryngoscope in children < 5 years with normal airway.Methods: Prospective, randomised, controlled study with 60 children scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia divided into twogroups:intubation using TVand Airtraq. Time to intubate, rst attempt success rate (FASR), percentage of glottic opening, ease of intubation scoreand complications were recorded.Results: Time to intubate was 27.54sec in TV and 21.50 sec in AT (P<0.0001). FASR was 80% in the TV and 100% in the AT. The percentage ofglottis opening score was 90% in TVand ATgroup. Ease of Intubation was more with ATgroup.Conclusion: AT is better than TV for intubating children as it takes lesser time for intubation, has higher rst attempt success rate and greater easeof intubation.
