Comparison of two Macintosh laryngoscope blades in 300 patients.

BACKGROUND There are two forms of Macintosh laryngoscope blade. Compared with the standard blade, the English blade is longer, its curve is more continuous across the entire length of the blade, the flange of the blade continues much closer to the blade tip, and the height of the flange is shorter. METHOD We studied 300 patients to compare the ease of laryngoscopy with each type of Macintosh ...

Design evaluation of commonly used rigid and levering laryngoscope blades.

BACKGROUND The shape of a laryngoscope blade affects the exposition of the larynx. This study evaluates and compares some rigid and levering blade designs based on previous investigative X-ray laryngoscopic studies. METHODS Five rigid laryngoscope blades (Miller #3, Standard Macintosh #3, Classical Macintosh #4 and English-Macintosh #3 and #4) and two levering laryngoscope blades (McCoy in ne...
