    BackgroundWe compared the time for instrumentation in nasotracheal intubation using Pentax-AWS and Glidescope to that using the Macintosh laryngoscope in patients with normal airway.MethodsAfter local ethics board approval, 60 patients requiring dental or oral surgery were allocated randomly to Pentax-AWS, Glidescope and Macintosh groups. One experienced anesthesiologist performed nasotracheal intubation in all patients.ResultsThe times for instrumentation using Pentax-AWS and Glidescope, and Macintosh laryngoscope were 37 +/- 12s, 33 +/- 9s, and 30 +/- 12s, respectively. There were no differences among the three devices.CconclusionsWhen operated by experienced anesthesiologists, both Pentax-AWS and Glidescope showed similar performance for nasotracheal intubation compared with Macintosh laryngoscope in normal airway patients.
