The aim of this case series was to evaluate the performance of GlideScope AVL single-use video laryngoscope for the visualization of the glottis and endotracheal intubations.Visualization of the glottis with GlideScope AVL single-use video laryngoscope was performed in 200 consecutive patients who required tracheal intubation for surgery. The time to complete instrumentation and the visualization of the glottis according to the Cormack-Lehane grade was recorded.GlideScope AVL single-use video laryngoscope provided the grade I view of the glottis in 156 patients and the gradeII view in 44 patients. Intubation with GlideScope AVL single-use video laryngoscope was successful in 199 of the 200 patients. The mean (+/- SD) time for instrumentation was 38 +/- 23 s for orotracheal intubation (n = 170) and 36 +/- 16 s for nasotracheal intubation (n = 28).GlideScope AVL single-use video laryngoscope could be an effective aid for airway management in surgical patients.
