aryngoscope blades in different sizes and shapes should be available before induction of anesthesia. Laryngoscope blades fall into two categories : straight and curved. Because the epiglottis is angled posteriorly, visualization of the glottis may be difficult. Straight laryngoscope blades are often recommended for use in neonates and infants to lift the epiglottis. The most common straight blades include the Miller, Wisconsin, Wis-Hipple, and Wis-Foregger blades.The ability to use standard straight and curved laryngoscope blades is mandatory in pediatric anesthesia. The laryngeal structures of infants are encountered at a more cephalad and anterior position, approximately the level of C2 to C3, depending on age, until the child reaches school age, when the laryngeal structures descend to a level opposite the body of C4. It is common practice to use a straight laryngoscope blade such as the Miller 0 or 1, or the Wis-Hippel 1.5, to intubate the trachea of an infant or a child up to school age. A curved laryngoscope blade with a wider spatula, such as the Macintosh blade may be advantageous to control the tongue of an older child. Whether to use the straight or the curved laryngoscope blades can be determined according to this approximate age distribution; however, the individual preferences of the clinician may vary, as can individual circumstances.
