Popis: Abstract Background To verify a test prototype of a novel flexible video laryngoscope in a difficult airway management simulator and to compare the efficacy of the flexible video laryngoscope with that of a conventional video laryngoscope. Methods Fifteen clinical anesthesiologists performed endotracheal intubation with a flexible video laryngoscope and a conventional video laryngoscope in a difficult airway management simulator in the neutral position with intermediate and difficult mouth opening. The rate of intubation success, intubation time, and classification of glottic exposure were recorded. After endotracheal intubation, participants were asked to assess the difficulty of intubation of the two laryngoscopes. Results The success rate of endotracheal intubation with flexible video laryngoscope was significantly higher than that with video laryngoscope in neutral positions with both intermediate (P = 0.025) and difficult (P = 0.005) mouth opening. The Cormack Lehane score of the flexible video laryngoscope was significantly lower than that of the video laryngoscope in the neutral position with intermediate mouth opening (P
