This video may cary interest to Anesthesiologists, Emergency Physicians, CRNAs, EMTs, Paramedics, and various other clinicians for difficult airway intubations. With comparable performance to Verathon Glidescope, Karl Storz C-MAC, and Medtronic McGrath, devices like these may prove to be vital tools for emergency and resource limited environments.
