Why is it important?
To identify the best position for intubation
Perspectives
Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the ramping position may benefit surgical patients undergoing ETI, by improving laryngeal exposure. Large-scale well-designed multicentre RCTs should be carried out to further elucidate the benefits of the ramping position in the surgical and intensive care unit patients.
