Failure to successfully intubate the trachea and secure the airway remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, in the operative [1-2] and emergency settings. [3-4]. When the concept of endotracheal intubation was developed, 100 years ago the procedure was performed blindly. Shortly thereafter, laryngoscopes were invented, allowing for direct visualization of the larynx with a viewing angle of 15 degrees [5]. Insufficient laryngoscopic view constitutes the main reason for difficult intubations [6].
