World Health Organisation has declared coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic and the number of infected cases in India is increasing daily. Intubation of COVID-19 positive patient is an aerosol-generating medical procedure and increases risk of spread of infection. Anaesthesia provider must wear enhanced personal protective equipment for the procedure and after pre-oxygenation and rapid sequence induction, intubation with video laryngoscopy is preferred as it improves intubation success and increases the distance between the patient’s airway and that of the anaesthesiologist who performs the intubation.[1] Video laryngoscope is a highly priced, delicate instrument which is not available in every health facility in India. A simple, do-it-yourself video laryngoscope may be used to intubate COVID-19 positive patient which requires little effort and minimum technical knowledge and expertise.
