Comparison of Video Laryngoscopy and Conventional Laryngoscopy for Safe Intubation in Adult Thyroid Surgery Patients With Anticipated Difficult Airway

The Macintosh laryngoscope blade was used for intubation. The technique involved neck extension to create a direct line of sight to the vocal cords for successful tracheal tube placement.

The video laryngoscope allowed visualization of the glottis on a monitor without the need for cervical extension, facilitating intubation in anticipated difficult airway cases.
