Force and pressure distribution using Macintosh and GlideScope laryngoscopes.
BACKGROUND The forces applied to the soft tissues of the upper airway may have a deleterious effect. This study was designed to evaluate the performance of the GlideScope compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope. METHODS Twenty anaesthetists and 20 trainees attempted tracheal intubation of a Laerdal SimMan manikin. Forces and pressure distribution applied by both laryngoscope blades onto the ...
متن کاملCORRESPONDENCE Force and pressure distribution using Macintosh and GlideScope laryngoscopes
Force and pressure distribution using Macintosh and GlideScope laryngoscopes Editor—Carassiti and colleagues are to be commended for their work attempting to compare the forces applied to the airway during laryngoscopy with the Glidescope Cobalt and the Macintosh laryngoscope. However, one issue deserves comment, there is an important difference between the two blades that was not accounted for...
متن کاملIntubation biomechanics: laryngoscope force and cervical spine motion during intubation with Macintosh and Airtraq laryngoscopes.
INTRODUCTION Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in the presence of cervical spine instability may put patients at risk of cervical cord injury. Nevertheless, the biomechanics of intubation (cervical spine motion as a function of applied force) have not been characterized. This study characterized and compared the relationship between laryngoscope force and cervical spine motion using two ...
متن کاملAirway management at floor level: a comparison of tracheal intubation using the Macintosh and Airtraq laryngoscopes.
Practitioners providing pre-hospital care during civilian practice and on military operations may be required to perform airway management and tracheal intubation at floor level. It has been shown that intubation using the Airtraq laryngoscope is easier to learn than standard Macintosh laryngoscopy. We hypothesised that the Airtraq would be easier to use and have shorter intubation times than M...
متن کاملComparison of the Glidescope® and Pentax AWS® laryngoscopes to the Macintosh laryngoscope for use by Advanced Paramedics in easy and simulated difficult intubation
BACKGROUND Intubation of the trachea in the pre-hospital setting may be lifesaving in severely ill and injured patients. However, tracheal intubation is frequently difficult to perform in this challenging environment, is associated with a lower success rate, and failed tracheal intubation constitutes an important cause of morbidity. Novel indirect laryngoscopes, such as the Glidescope and the A...
