Does the <scp>M</scp> iller blade truly provide a better laryngoscopic view and intubating conditions than the <scp>M</scp> acintosh blade in small children?

Abstract

In children aged 1-24 months, the Miller and the Macintosh blades provide similar laryngoscopic views and intubating conditions. When a restricted view is obtained, a change of blade may provide a better view. Placing the tip of the Miller blade in the vallecula provides satisfactory intubating conditions in this age group.
