The preterm and ex-preterm babies form a separate group among the paediatric population with unique airway anatomy. The utility of C-MAC ® Video laryngoscope (VL) for routine intubation of preterm babies has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to report the performance of C-MAC ® VL Miller blade size-0 for endotracheal intubation in preterm babies at our institute.
