This prospective, randomized study compared CMAC ® videolaryngoscope with intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) for intubation under manual-in-line-stabilization (MILS) in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery. Settings and Design: Sixty-five ASA Physical Status Classes I and II patients aged 18-65 years undergoing elective cervical spine surgery were randomly allocated into two groups: group CM-intubation with CMAC ® videolaryngoscope ( n = 33) and Group IL-intubation using ILMA ( n = 32).
