Reply to “Comparing Shikani Optical Stylet and Macintosh Laryngoscope for Orotracheal Intubation”

To the Editor: We thank Dr. Wang, et al.[1] for the comments in our article. With regard to the first comment point, we agreed with them that Cormack‐Lehane grades 3–4 with Macintosh laryngoscope should be defined as difficult laryngoscopy. The definition of difficult airway in our paper should be difficult laryngoscopy, not difficult airway.[1] The laryngeal classification (Macintosh 3–4 blade...

Shikani Optical Stylet versus Macintosh Laryngoscope for Intubation in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Cervical Spondylosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND Airway management is critical in patients with cervical spondylosis, a population with a high incidence of difficult airway. Intubation with Shikani Optical Stylet (SOS) has become increasingly popular in difficult airway. We compared the effects of intubation with SOS versus Macintosh laryngoscope (MLS) in patients undergoing surgery for cervical spondylosis. METHODS A total of 27...

Comparing GlideScope Video Laryngoscope and Macintosh Laryngoscope Regarding Hemodynamic Responses During Orotracheal Intubation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND To determine if the GlideScope® videolaryngoscope (GVL) could attenuate the hemodynamic responses to orotracheal intubation compared with conventional Macintosh laryngoscope. OBJECTIVES The aim of this relatively large randomized trial was to compare the hemodynamic stress responses during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation using GVL versus MCL amongst healthy adult individuals r...
