Which profile is the most popular, Macintosh or Miller?

The answer to this question depends on the application. EMS professionals seem to prefer Macintosh while Anesthesiologists tend to prefer Miller.

Will ADC laryngoscope blades attach to other handle brands? Can you use ADC handles with other brands of blades?

The answer to both is a qualified yes! ADC blades and handles conform to ISO 7376 and ASTM F965. ADC blades and handles will be compatible with any manufacturer's brand that conforms to these standards. However, standard illumination components are not compatible with fiber optic components and visa-versa.

What are the advantages of fiber optic laryngoscopes over those with standard illumination?

There are two advantages; performance and safety. Fiber optic laryngoscopes provide a brighter, whiter light permitting better view and observation during intubation. Because the light source is contained in the battery handle, they are cooler, reducing the risk of patient injury.
