Introduction: Endotracheal intubation is one of fundamental abilities that the anesthetist would find the best. One of primary drivers of anesthesia-related mortality and grimness is respiratory illness. There are few video laryngoscopes accessible available that encourage intubation both in the medical clinic and outside. These gadgets are avoided by their expense and accessibility, particularly in creating nations. In this pilot study, we assessed an altered, savvy video laryngoscope (v-scope) that can be associated with a cell phone contrasted with a customary Miller edge as far as intubation time performed by forthcoming anesthetists. It is the primary savvy laryngoscope dependent on a straight edge structure. Methods: Our current research was led at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore from June 2018 to May 2019. Fifty grown-up patients utilized for elective medical procedure under general anesthesia remained randomized into gatherings of 21 individuals each. Cases in the principal bunch were intubated through the Millers sharp edge and Bougie utilizing the Para Glossal system. The other gathering remained intubated through the minimal effort video laryngoscope (v-scope) under comparative conditions. All intubations were performed by forthcoming anesthetists. The primary goal was the time required for intubation. The ideal opportunity for the representation of glottis (t1), further time for the effective consummation of the endotracheal intubation (t2) were additionally noted. The simplicity of intubation, the utilization of extra moves, the hemodynamic reaction and conceivable symptoms were additionally noted. Results: The time required for intubation remained comparative in the two gatherings (78.26 ± 27.48 versus 75.16 ± 27.4 sec, mean ± SD). The glottis remained improved in addition the requirement for outer laryngeal control was less with the V-Scope. The time from representation of the glottis to intubation was reached out in the v-scope gathering (22.2 ± 7.1 sec versus 15.8 ± 4.7 sec, p< 0.002). Not any critical unfriendly occasions were watched. Conclusion: The economical video laryngoscope is the valuable gadget in hands of the students that may improve glottal perspectives and accomplish comparative intubation times to Miller's cutting edge, like other video laryngoscopes. Key words: Video laryngoscope; Smart phone: Miller Blade: Intubation.
