This study assessed the applicability of C-MAC videolaryngoscope (VL) D-blade for awake intubation in patients with laryngeal tumour. The primary study objective was to determine the rate of successful intubation in the first attempt. The other parameters recorded were number of attempts required for intubation, duration of different stages of intubation, haemodynamics, ease of intubation and patient comfort on visual analogue scale (VAS) postoperatively.
