    AbstractSince we began to use a plate-rack as a pillow for adult endotracheal intubation, we can intubate more smoothly than we did with a circular sponge-made pillow previously. A pillow for endotracheal intubation must have two characteristics for smooth endotracheal intubation. First, it must be able to establish patient's head position suitable for endotracheal intubation. Second, it must not permit patient's head and neck to move at the time of endotracheal intubation. And it must be set to patient's head comfortably. This plate-rack can answer all of them. Particularly, we can do endotracheal intubation without neck extension, with patient's head on the upper horizontal bar of the plate-rack. Neck extension might cause worse visualization of the vocal cord and cervical spinal cord injury.
