Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in the consideration of videolaryngoscopy (VL) for tracheal intubation of patients during an outbreak. Benefits of VL compared with a standard curved Macintosh (MAC) blade include postural advantages, improved view for the laryngoscopist and assistants, enhanced supervision and easier management of unanticipated difficult airways.
