In the recent past, many novel devices such as AirTraq ® and C-MAC ® video laryngoscope (VL) have been introduced in an attempt to reduce anaesthetic morbidity and mortality associated with difficult intubation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare C-MAC ® VL with a standard Macintosh blade and the AirTraq ® optical laryngoscope as a intubating devices with the patient's head in neutral position.
