Abstract

Despite adequate visualization of the vocal cords using specialized airway devices, anatomical factors and the physical characteristics of the tube may cause difficulty when performing endotracheal intubation. The endotracheal tube designed for use with the intubating laryngeal mask airway may facilitate intubation in these circumstances.
