Comparison of two video‐assisted techniques for the difficult intubation

Background: Two recently developed video‐optical intubation devices, the video‐optical intubation stylet (VOIS) and the angled video intubation laryngoscope (AVIL) were compared for intubation times and success rate in a simulated difficult tracheal intubation setting.
