  Background: Several complications may be correlated with difficult airway up to death. Fiberoptic bronchoscope is the gold stander to deal with difficult intubation. Airtraq laryngoscope and C-MAC® video laryngoscope are new devices that are used successfully for tracheal intubation. We compared using C-MAC D-blade video laryngoscope, Airtraq laryngoscope, and Fiberoptic bronchoscope for intubation of patient likely to have difficult intubation. Patients and methods: Ethical committee permission was obtained before 120 adult patients (ASA I-III) with expected difficult intubation were incorporated in this prospective study. Participants were randomly distributed to 3 equal groups to be intubated using either C-MAC D-blade (group 1), Airtraq (group 2), or Fiberoptic technique (group 3) after anesthesia was induced.
