Abstract
The Bullard laryngoscope is a new combination of a fibreoptic light so urce and an anatomically shaped rigid blade, to aid visualization of t he larynx. We present two patients with expected severe difficult endo tracheal intubation and describe their anaesthetic management. Our exp erience confirms previous observations which showed that the Bullard l aryngoscope provides an excellent view of the vocal cords in patients with severe difficult airways.
