BackgroundTo evaluate the performance of the Airway Scope, we studied the time to complete endotracheal intubation performed by senior residents in anesthesiology.MethodsThe trachea of the patient was intubated using the Airway Scope (n = 90) or the Macintosh laryngoscope (n = 81).ResultsThe time to complete endotracheal intubation was 42 +/- 23 sec with the Airway Scope and 41 +/- 20 sec with the Macintosh laryngoscope.ConclusionsThe Airway Scope performed as well as the Macintosh laryngoscope when used by senior residents in anesthesiology on patients with normal airway.
