TruViewEVO2 videolaryngoscope (Truphatek, Israel) is a modified version of the Truphatek 1. We used this device in four patients with difficult airways. A 77-year-old obese woman, scheduled for nasal surgery, had short neck and small jaw. After induction of anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade, laryngoscopy was attempted using a Macintosh blade, but the epiglottis, but not the glottis, was seen. A full view of the glottis was obtained when the TruView was used, and the trachea was easily intubated. In another two patients, in whom laryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade had failed, and in one patient with limited mouth opening, the TruView allowed us to see the glottis and to intubate the trachea without difficulty. Therefore, we believe that the TrueViewEVO2 videolaryngoscope is useful in patients with difficult airways.
