✦ Synopsis

Objective : Describe the indications and advantages of using the video laryngoscope for intubation and demonstrate potential complications when using the video laryngoscope in a series of six patients. In addition, we hope to make the participant more cognisant of the potential for oropharyngeal injuries and propose mechanisms to avoid such complications.
