7.2 ± 1.9 in FGI and 6.5 ± 2.1 in VGI (p = 0.863). The movement at C3 was 5.01 ± 0.91 in FGI and 5.93 ± 2.52 in VGI. No patient developed new-onset deficits. Conclusion: The degree of cervical spine movement was similar with both the techniques and no patient developed intubation-related motor deficits.
