GlideScope versus C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope for double-lumen tube intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airways: A multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
Videolaryngoscopes are widely used to visualize difficult airways. Our aim was to compare the GlideScope and C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscopes for double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation in patients with difficult airways. ⋯ In patients with difficult airways, the GlideScope and C-MAC D-blade provided a similar success rate on the first DLT intubation attempt; however, the C-MAC D-blade offers a better glottic view, easier and faster intubation, and lower incidence of sore throat.
