The evaluation of a better intubation strategy when only the epiglottis is visible: a randomized, cross-over mannequin study

Abstract Background The Cormack-Lehane (C-L) grade III airway is considered to be a challenging airway to intubate and is associated with a poor intubation success rate. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the holding position, shapes, bend angles of the endotracheal tube (ET) and t...
