AbstractThe Airway Scope AWS-S100 (AWS, Pentax, Tokyo), a rigid video laryngoscope with integrated tube guidance that has recently become commercially available, helped the authors to establish airways in two patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, after failed attempts to intubate the patients using the Macintosh laryngoscope (that only commanded the Cormack-Lehane grade 4 glottic views), the laryngeal mask airway, and even surgical cricothyroidotomy for the second case. This showed the utility of the AWS in the management of difficult airway cases even in emergency settings.
