**5. Conclusions**

As compared with direct laryngoscopy, video-assisted laryngoscopy often improves laryngeal views and increases the frequency of successful intubations. VL has become a very popular technique and is included in the Practice Guidelines of Difficult Airway Management for the American Society of Anesthesiologists, as well as other anesthesia societies world-wide. With the current widespread adoption of this technology, gaining familiarity with the various types of video-laryngoscopes that are now available is critical for any practitioner who is managing a patient's airway.
