Comparison of direct and video laryngoscopes in charcoal ingestion setting: a randomized cross-over simulation study

Choosing the right intubation method to increase success rate and performing it quickly is very important in a difficult airway situation. We aimed compare endotracheal rates completion time when using direct laryngoscopes (DL) GlideScope video (GVL) an activated charcoal ingestion manikin simulation. This study was designed as randomized cross over simulated model. Physicians who had >30 successful (ETI) experiences participated this study. The end points were ETI duration of completion. In order degree difficulty, participants rated visual analog scale (VAS). A total 38 people first attempt 28/38 (73.7%) for DL 37/38 (97.4%) GVL (p < 0.01). estimated 45.5 s (26–69) 28 (23–35) GVL, respectively VAS score difficulty lower than Using higher pass faster easier intubating patients with
