We aimed to study the feasibility of a comfortable and secure intubation achieved with the Disposcope endoscope or Macintosh laryngoscope when glottis viewing is difficult. Forty adults scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, in whom glottis viewing was difficult with the Macintosh laryngoscope (classified as Cormack-Lehane Grade III or IV), were randomized into 2 groups (N = 20 each): Disposcope endoscope (Group D) and Macintosh laryngoscope (Group M).
