Popis: This study compared Air-Q and Intubating LMA when used as a conduit for endotracheal intubation. Methods: One hundred patients scheduled for surgical operations under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into two equal groups (n = 50). Group I: Air-Q and group II: Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA) in both groups intubation was done by Fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) through study device. After induction of anesthesia, patients were ventilated with Air-Q or ILMA. Then, endotracheal tube (ETT) was inserted through study device. Recorded measurements were as follows: number of attempts and duration of insertion of device, peak airway pressure and fiberoptic grading of laryngeal view. Also, we recorded number of attempts and duration of insertion of ETT and the incidence of blood stain on device and sore throat grading. Results: Duration of insertion of Air-Q was 13.300 ± 3.471 s, whilst that of ILMA was 19.640 ± 4.737 s (p
