Randomized Controlled Trial Meta Analysis Comparative Study
[Airtraq for difficult airways: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials].
Increased evidence indicates that the Airtraq is useful for difficult tracheal intubations. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of the Airtraq in difficult airways, comparing with that of Macintosh laryngoscopy. ⋯ There is considerable evidence that Airtraq has an advantage over Macintosh laryngoscope in difficult airways.

Randomized Controlled Trial Meta Analysis Comparative Study
[Channeled videolaryngoscope: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials].
The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of the channeled videolaryngoscopes in routine tracheal intubation. ⋯ Compared to the Macintosh laryngoscopy, channeled videolaryngoscopy offers advantages for novice laryngoscopists, while these benefits are not seen with experts' hands in normal airways. Even with skillful hands, channeled videolaryngoscopy improves the successful first-attempt intubation in difficult intubations.
