Text: The Lightwand technique resulted in significantly less flexion-extension and axial rotation at C1-2 than with the intubating LMA (mean difference in flexion-extension 3. 2 [95 % confidence interval { CI }, 0. 9-5. 5], P = 0. 003 ; mean difference in axial rotation 1. 6 [95 % CI, 0. 3-2. 8], P = 0. 01) and Macintosh laryngoscope (mean difference in flexion-extension 3. 1 [95 % CI, 0. 8-5. 4], P = 0. 005 ; mean difference in axial rotation 1. 4 [95 % CI 0. 1-2. 6], P = 0. 03).
