Damage to a laryngoscope

The Laryngoscope

A Randomized Comparison Simulating Face to Face Endotracheal Intubation of Pentax Airway Scope, C-MAC Video Laryngoscope, Glidescope Video Laryngoscope, and Macintosh Laryngoscope

OBJECTIVES Early airway management is very important for severely ill patients. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of face to face intubation in four different types of laryngoscopes (Macintosh laryngoscope, Pentax airway scope (AWS), Glidescope video laryngoscope (GVL), and C-MAC video laryngoscope (C-MAC)). METHOD Ninety-five nurses and emergency medical technicians were trained t...

An Airway which Facilitates intubation with a Fiberoptic Laryngoscope

A comparison of the C-MAC video laryngoscope to the Macintosh direct laryngoscope for intubation in the emergency department.

STUDY OBJECTIVE We determine the proportion of successful intubations with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (C-MAC) compared with the direct laryngoscope in emergency department (ED) intubations. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data entered into a continuous quality improvement database during a 28-month period in an academic ED. After each intubation, the ope...

Classics from the laryngoscope.

This classic article meticulously detailed the spiral ganglion cell (SGC) populations in 100 patients with variable degrees of hearing loss and known diagnoses to assess the correlation with speech discrimination scores and to hypothesize upon the inherent ability to stimulate the remaining spiral ganglia successfully with cochlear implants. Important observations from this study were that spir...
