Video laryngoscopes have high percentages of Cormack-Lehane grades 1 and 2 in patients with predicted difficult airways and high successful intubation rate [2]. It is indicated for intubation in awake patient when there are suspected difficult conventional laryngoscopy and intubation or difficult bag and mask ventilation [3]. Fiberoptic intubation is the safest device among the anaesthesiologists for awake intubation [4], though there is difficulty in obtaining required skills. There are various other video-assisted devices which are comparatively inexpensive, require lesser maintenance and are easier to acquire expertise over them. The King vision video laryngoscope (Kingsystems Noblesville, IN) is one such device among various other videolaryngoscope which seems to be effective tool for awake intubation.
