[Videolaryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation - new developments in difficult airway management].
Difficulties in tracheal intubation are the major causes of anaesthesia related morbidity and mortality. Novel videolaryngoscopes facilitate endotracheal intubation by indirect visualisation of glottic structures through optical systems. In this review, differences and the advantages and disadvantages of videolaryngoscopes are discussed.
