Core Tip	Video laryngoscopy (VL) is gaining popularity in the practice of endotracheal intubation. Failure of VL-assisted intubation may be attributed to the fact that practitioners use the same technique employed for traditional rigid laryngoscopy. We describe a technique based on pre-forming the endotracheal tube with two specific curves and using a stepwise insertion technique to facilitate the VL and achieve a higher success rate. The tool was tested in a mannequin trial first and then applied to clinical practice. The first-pass success rate was higher, with minimal torque and fewer external maneuvers required.
