A comparison of the TruView EVO2 and macintosh laryngoscope blades
Intubation is one of the basic procedures of anesthesia. The reported frequency of difficult intubations is between 1.5% and 13%, which is a problem that requires a prompt solution. Although the likelihood of a difficult intubation can be estimated from preoperative measurements and scoring systems, obtaining direct access to the glottis during preoperative direct laryngoscopy can be difficult....
متن کاملTeaching tracheal intubation: Airtraq is superior to Macintosh laryngoscope
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation with Macintosh laryngoscope is taught to medical students as it is a lifesaving procedure. However, it is a difficult technique to learn and the consequences of intubation failure are potentially serious. The Airtraq optical laryngoscope is a relatively novel intubation device, which allows visualization of the glottic plane without alignment of the oral, pharynge...
متن کاملEndotracheal intubation in patients with cervical spine immobilization: a comparison of macintosh and airtraq laryngoscopes.
BACKGROUND The Airtraq laryngoscope (Prodol Ltd., Vizcaya, Spain) is a novel single-use tracheal intubation device. The authors compared ease of intubation with the Airtraq and Macintosh laryngoscopes in patients with cervical spine immobilization in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. METHODS Forty consenting patients presenting for surgery requiring tracheal intubation were randomly as...
متن کاملThe use of Airtraq laryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope by experienced anesthesiologists.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare the hemodynamic parameters, intubation times, upper airway trauma and postoperative sore throat scores of the patients with normal airway anatomy, intubated with the Airtraq, Macintosh laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope, by experienced anesthesiologists. METHODS Ninety patients, scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly...
متن کاملMuscle activity during endotracheal intubation using 4 laryngoscopes (Macintosh laryngoscope, Intubrite, TruView Evo2 and King Vision) - A comparative study.
BACKGROUND Successful endotracheal intubation requires mental activity and no less important physical activity from the anesthesiologist, so ergonomics of used devices is important. The aim of our study has been to compare 4 laryngoscopes regarding an operator's activity of selected muscles of the upper limb, an operator's satisfaction with used devices and an operator's fatigue during intubati...
