Airway Scope® (AWS; Pentax Corp., Tokyo, Japan) device. a The AWS is a portable and battery-operated video-laryngoscope (VDL) with an integrated and wide-viewing-angle (180°) liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor (6.1 cm) providing an indirect laryngoscopy of the airway via a charged coupled device attached to the blade tip of the AWS. The single-use intlock blade has a specific tube guide to accept the ETT (internal diameter between 6.5 and 8 mm). AWS-ETI requires to load and lift the epiglottis with the AWS blade tip. b Once the target signal on the LCD monitor is aligned with the glottis opening, the ETT is passed through the vocal cords (a). Then, the AWS is removed laterally, leaving the ETT in place
