Los videolaringoscopios son unos dispositivos, relativamente novedosos, introducidos en el mercado para facilitar la intubación de los pacientes al no ser necesario la alineación de los ejes oral, faríngeo y laríngeo. La principal limitación que encontramos en su uso es la dirección del tubo endotraqueal hacia la glotis. La escala Cormack-Lehane es el patrón de oro que utilizamos los anestesiólogos para valorar la visualización de la glotis con la laringoscopia directa. Actualmente no existe ninguna escala validad que permita describir la dificultad de intubación con los videolaringoscopios, probablemente por la variedad de dispositivos disponibles en el mercado. ABSTRACT Video laryngoscopes are relatively original devices placed in the market in order to make intubating patients easier as it´ s no neccessary anymore the alignment of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal shaft axis. The biggest constraint we face in its handling is the guide of the endotracheal tube to the glottis. Cormack-Lehane scale is the gold standar we anesthesiologists use to evaluate glottis display with direct laryngoscopy. Today there´s no valid scale able to describe intubation difficulty with video laryngoscopes, maybe because the huge ammount of different devices available.
