amenable intubation by disposable laryngoscope blades

Amenable Intubation by Disposable Laryngoscope Blades.

Emerging evidence in infection control: effecting change regarding use of disposable laryngoscope blades.

The purpose of this evidence-based project was to determine the perceptions of anesthesia providers regarding the use of disposable laryngoscope blades. Frequency of use, ease of use, and complications encountered when using the disposable blade were evaluated before and after an in-service program designed to increase the use of disposable blades. Participants completed an anonymous questionna...

comparison of successful intubation with two different blades of laryngoscope: single-use and reusable.

background: many types of single-use blades are manufactured with different designs and materials. there have been several reports of difficulties in obtaining a view of the glottis with single-use laryngoscopes. the purpose of this prospective study was to compare the quickness and the success rate of endotracheal intubations with two different laryngoscope blades: disposable laryngoscope blad...

An Airway which Facilitates intubation with a Fiberoptic Laryngoscope

Comparison of plastic single-use and metal reusable laryngoscope blades for orotracheal intubation during rapid sequence induction of anesthesia.

BACKGROUND Plastic single-use laryngoscope blades are inexpensive and carry a lower risk of infection compared with metal reusable blades, but their efficiency during rapid sequence induction remains a matter of debate. The authors therefore compared plastic and metal blades during rapid sequence induction in a prospective randomized trial. METHODS Two hundred eighty-four adult patients under...
