Videolaryngoscopy provides better views than DL at the expense of time to intubate. Although the time taken to intubate is increased with the VL, it is clinically acceptable.

This paper describes experience with 100 cases using the Haloxair apparatus. The apparatus was found to be convenient, flexible and reliable. A low incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was a particularly encouraging feature. The Haloxair apparatus is designed for the administration of halothane as anaesthetic agent in air as vehicle. It was developed partly to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces, and Stephens (1965) described it in detail. It is essentially a draw-over inhaler, but can be used for controlled respiration.
