this study involved 154 anesthetized patients requiring endotracheal intubation, in whom the epiglottis was visible but not lifted, which restricted the view of the glottis. a simple stylet was used to lift the epiglottis, thus improving the view of the glottis with the glide scope®, allowing tracheal tubes to be inserted into the patients. the stylet easily resolved the difficulty of lifting t...

macintosh direct laryngoscope has been the most widely used device for tracheal intubation. glidescope video laryngoscope (gvl) has been recently introduced as an alternative device for performing intubation; however, its validity in emergency settings has not been thoroughly evaluated. the aim of this study was to compare macintosh direct laryngoscope versus gvl for emergency endotracheal intu...

conclusions the incidence and severity of sore throat and hoarseness after tracheal intubation by glide scope were lower than in the macintosh laryngoscope. the incidence and severity of sore throat were increased by intubation and longer operation times. patients and methods three hundred patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 150: macintosh blade laryngoscope or glide scope video...

BACKGROUND/AIM Anesthesiologists have encountered various difficulties in securing the airway. Therefore, we compare the intubation times and hemodynamic changes between the McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope and the Macintosh laryngoscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 obstetric patients were divided into 2 groups, orotracheally intubated with either the McGrath video laryngoscope or ...

OBJECTIVE The McGrath Video laryngoscope is a newly developed video laryngoscope that significantly improves laryngeal view and facilitates endotracheal intubation in difficult airways. However in patients with normal airway that is not mentioned before. The aim of this study was to compare the McGrath video laryngoscope with the Macintosh laryngoscope in patients with normal airways. METHODS...

This study aims to determine differences in the success of intubation on first attempt between video laryngoscopes and direct laryngoscopes. The method used is an experimental quasi-experimental type with a Two Group Post Test Design. sampling technique was carried out by consecutive research instrument, namely observation sheet. Data were collected operating room Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado ...

BACKGROUND Video-laryngoscopes have gained popularity in the recent years and have shown definite advantages over the conventional Macintosh direct laryngoscopes. However, there is still insufficient evidence comparing the C-MAC with the Macintosh for patients during manual inline stabilization (MILS). METHODS This prospective, randomized, single blind study was carried out to compare trachea...

Airtraq has been shown to improve ease of intubation in patients with normal and difficult airway. King Vision video laryngoscope is a newly introduced intubating device with an attached monitor. We here hypothesized that the King Vision video laryngoscope with channeled blade performs better during intubation as compared to Airtraq. In this study, we performed a comparison between the King Vis...
