In Pediatric both manikin and human studies have suggested that the video laryngoscopy is equally suitable to facilitate intubation compared to the direct laryngoscopy.
The King Vision Pediatric aBlade is a novel video laryngoscopy for securing the airway of new born and infants. In this manikin studie we want to compare different types of video laryngoscopes in a simulated normal and difficult infant airway.

The Time interval between the laryngoscope blade passing the teeth/gums to the announcing of the first ventilation was recorded as the time to ventilation with the Video laryngoscopy (VL) or conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL)

Time to ventilation (seconds)
Three timepoints will be recorded, beginning with the insertion of the device past the theeth/gum into the mouth. These will inlcude time to best view, time to removal of device from the mouth, and the time to the first chest raising of the simulator
Time frame: Assessed intraoperatively at time of intubation (seconds)
First attempt success rate of tracheal intubation (in 40 seconds)
An attempt at tracheal intubation will be defined as entry of the device into the patient's mouth without the need to remove the device once entered and securing the airway.
Time frame: Assessed intraoperatively at time of intubation
Grades of Laryngeal View (Cormack&Lehane Class)
Cormack\&Lehane Grade (1-4) and percentage of glottic opening (POGO) (%) will be recorded after insertion of the laryngoscope
Time frame: Assessed intraoperatively at time of intubation
Use of ELM
BURP or change the head/Shoulder position to optimised the glottic view will be recorded
Time frame: Assessed intraoperatively at time of intubation
Intubation Adjustments & Ease of Use
Airway manipulations utilized and ease of use (Likert 1-5) will be assessed by the user following the intubation.
Time frame: Assessed intraoperatively following intubation
