Figure Legend:
Fig. 1. Number of successful intubations in 200 patients, performed by 20 subjects with manikin training only. Successful intubations are presented for each attempt and accumulated for all attempts. Each subject attempted to intubate 5 patients  via  direct laryngoscopy and 5 patients  via  GlideScope (Verathon Medical Europe, Ijsselstein, Netherlands) technique. From the second to the fifth attempts, the subjects were successful with the GlideScope technique in 19 of 20 patients for each attempt. Overall, the subjects had a significantly higher success rate using the GlideScope technique (n = 93) as compared with direct laryngoscopy (n = 51;  P  < 0.01).
