The first use of elective oral intubation for anesthesia was undertaken by William Macewan. To compare the laryngeal intubation time and attempts needed for Truview laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope. Material and methods: A comparative study was carried out among 90 cases to study the intubation time required for Truview laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope. Depending on that two groups of 45 patients each were made and they were intubated by Truview laryngoscope (T) and Macintosh laryngoscope (M) respectively. Results: shows that mean intubation attempt required in M-group was1.33±0.47 as compared to T- group in which was 1.04±0.20 which is statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: The intubation time needed for Truview is less. No of more than one attempt required was more in M-group as compared to T-group.
