2 In 2011 I received an unrestricted lecture honorarium from Ambu I have been loaned equipment by Intavent Direct (Teleflex) and Aircraft Medical As an organiser of airway workshops I have procured equipment for teaching purposes from a wide variety of companies Between 2010 and 2013 I sat on the DAS Committee I am now involved in the organisation of the Airway Leads Project

23 Anaesthesiologists like VLs because they make their life somewhat more serene

24 the purpose of a VL is to facilitate tracheal intubation? AMcN Anaesthesiologists like VLs because they make their life somewhat more serene

26 Does one laryngoscope with 2 different sorts of blade count as 2 different laryngoscopes?

27 Most tracheal intubations were rated as easy. For those that were not, the main problems consisted of awkwardness inserting the tracheal tube into the larynx, and difficulty advancing the tube into the trachea once the tip had passed between the vocal cords, despite good laryngeal views. These problems have also been reported with other videolaryngoscopes. 1,2,10,12,13,32
