Flowchart of design and recruitment of participants according to CONSORT statement.

We read with interest the article of Bilge et al [1] concerning on endotracheal intubation (ETI) with tactical fiberoptic imaging systems. Under the conditions of cervical spine suspected damage and to limit the movements of the spine, direct laryngoscopy using laryngoscope with Macintosh or Miller blade may be difficult [1–3]. In such cases, we should use alternative methods of ETI, including videolaryngoscopes or fiberoptic intubation (FOB).
