AB In  this  day  and  age  with  video-laryngoscopy  (VL)  rapidly  becoming  the  standard  of  care  for  orotracheal  intubation  (OTI)  one  might  rightly  ask  if  there  is  still  a  need  for  a  chapter  on  direct  laryngoscopy  (DL).  However,  while  VL  is  gaining  ground  on  DL  it  has  yet  to  replace  it  as  the  most  common  device  employed  to  facilitate  OTI,  and  it  will  remain  a  vitally  important  skill  to  master  for  difficult  and  failed  intubation  rescue,  and  in  parts  of  the  world  that  cannot  afford  or  do  not  have  access  to  VL.
