abstract

background: to determine if the glidescope® videolaryngoscope (gvl) could attenuate the hemodynamic responses to orotracheal intubation compared with conventional macintosh laryngoscope. objectives: the aim of this relatively large randomized trial was to compare the hemodynamic stress responses during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation using gvl versus mcl amongst healthy adult individuals receiving general anesthesia for elective surgeries. patients and methods: ninety five healthy adult patients with american society of anesthesiologists physical status class i or ii that were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to either macintosh or glidescope arms. all patients received a standardized protocol of general anesthesia. hemodynamic changes associated with intubation were recorded before and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes after the intubation. the time taken to perform endotracheal intubation was also noted in both groups. results: immediately before laryngoscopy (pre-laryngoscopy), the values of all hemodynamic variables did not differ significantly between the two groups (all p values > 0.05). blood pressures and hr values changed significantly over time within the groups. time to intubation was significantly longer in the glidescope (15.9 ± 6.7 seconds) than in the macintosh group (7.8 ± 3.7 sec) (p< 0.001). however, there were no significant differences between the two groups in hemodynamic responses at all time points. conclusions: the longer intubation time using gvl suggests that the benefit of gvl could become apparent if the time taken for orotracheal intubation could be decreased in glidescope group.

Glidescope® video laryngoscope vs. Macintosh direct laryngoscope for the intubation of laryngeal neoplasm patients: a randomized controlled study

Background: Glidescope® video laryngoscope (GVL) is widely used in tracheal intubation. However, no studies have been conducted to compare the GVL and Macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDL) for intubation in patients with laryngeal neoplasm. Here, we aim to compare GVL and MDL for the intubation of laryngeal neoplasm patients. Methods: One hundred ninety-six American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA...

Evaluation of intra ocular pressure and hemodynamic change following intubation with Maccoy, Macintosh and Video laryngoscope

Background & Objective: The induction of anesthesia, laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation can be associated with adverse hemodynamic response and increased intraocular pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate intraocular pressure and hemodynamic changes after laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with three methods of laryngoscopy (Macintosh, Maccoy and Video laryngoscope).Materia...

glidescope video laryngoscope for difficult intubation in emergency patients: a quasi-randomized controlled trial

macintosh direct laryngoscope has been the most widely used device for tracheal intubation. glidescope video laryngoscope (gvl) has been recently introduced as an alternative device for performing intubation; however, its validity in emergency settings has not been thoroughly evaluated. the aim of this study was to compare macintosh direct laryngoscope versus gvl for emergency endotracheal intu...
