Handling and efficacy of a new videoβoptical intubation stylet were assessed in a simulated difficult tracheal intubation setting and compared with a conventional malleable stylet. Fortyβfive anaesthetists performed 10 tracheal intubations using both techniques. Laryngoscopy was performed by the obs

**Summary** We examined the use of the 30Β° rigid nasendoscope in aiding difficult tracheal intubations. A Cormack and Lehane gradeβ4 difficult intubation (no view of glottis or epiglottis) was set up on a manikin. After 10 s of tuition, 40 anaesthetists attempted to pass a standard gum elastic bougi
We conducted a prospective randomised study to compare the intubating laryngeal mask tracheal tube with a standard tube, for ease of tracheal intubation over a fibrescope. Thirtyβsix patients were investigated, using a sequential analysis technique. Ease of intubation was improved when the intubatin
