The Macintosh laryngoscope (MAC) is the most commonly used device for directly visualising the structures of the larynx and facilitating tracheal intubation.[1] Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) improve the visualisation of the glottis and the rate of successful oral intubation[2] and are useful aids in teaching the laryngoscopy technique to novices. The view on the screen can help the teacher guide the novice and provide verbal feedback,[3] resulting in a higher chance of success during the intubation attempt. This has also been seen with tracheal intubations with VL in infants and neonates.[4]
