COMPARISON OF TRACHEAL INTUBATION USING THE AIRTRAQ AND MC COY LARYNGOSCOPE IN THE PRESENCE OF RIGID CERVICAL COLLAR SIMULATING CERVICAL IMMOBILIZATION FOR TRAUMATIC CERVICAL SPINE INJURY

Airtraq is a laryngoscope which helps in intubation during difficult airway. The advantage is that it doesn’t require the alignment of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal axis. On the other hand the McCOY also helps in same difficult scenarios because of its hinged tip.
