Table 3: Possible (not limited to) advantages and disadvantages of commonly used positions and its comparisons with horseshoe supported modification. (C & L - Cormack-Lehane, DL- direct laryngoscopy).

Position	Lateral Position	Head Beyond Edge with Manual Supports	Horseshoe Supported Supine
Advantages	Baby is supported solely by table minimal hands around	Dynamic DL relatively better Conventional supine position maintained	Head relatively stable during DL Dynamic DL possible Relatively better alignment of airway Less congested area as less assistant hands around Relatively lower chance of pressure on mass Conventional Supine position laryngoscopy
Disadvantages	Intubation is not easy and conventional Needs relatively more expertise C & L view is of higher grade Failures are relatively high	Multiple hands around and in action Pressure on mass and raised pressure Possibility of rupture is relatively higher Head is not quite stable Alignment dependant on multiple person	Does not completely take away manual support One person needs to be ready to adjust the horseshoe position
