Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparing the novel GlideScope Groove videolaryngoscope with conventional videolaryngoscopy: a randomized mannequin study of novice providers.
To compare the GlideScope Groove (GG) with conventional GlideScope videolaryngoscopy (GVL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL) on intubation times, intubation attempts, and glottic visualization of an airway mannequin by medical students. ⋯ GG was not superior to DL or GVL in time-to-intubate an airway mannequin.

Comparative Study[Endotracheal intubation with the GlideScope(®), the Airtraq(®), the McGrath(®) videolaryngoscope and direct laryngoscopy: A comparative study on an infant manikin.]
The primary purpose of this experimental study was to compare intubation times for direct laryngoscopy with a Miller blade and for 3 VL: GlideScope® videolaryngoscope, Airtraq®, and McGrath®. ⋯ In this infant manikin model, the learning curve of the different VL was 3 attempts and the Airtraq® VL appears the airway device enabling the quickest orotracheal intubation. These experimental results need to be confirmed by clinical studies in infants and children.

Meta Analysis
[Efficacy of videolaryngoscopes for nasotracheal intubation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials].
Increased evidence indicates that the videolaryngoscope is useful for nasotracheal intubation. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy of videolaryngoscopes (Glidescope, Airtraq and Pentax-AWS) in nasotracheal intubations, comparing with that of Macintosh laryngoscopy. ⋯ Our meta-analysis showed that the videolaryngoscope has an advantage over Macintosh laryngoscope in nasotracheal intubations.

Randomized Controlled TrialClinical evaluation of C-MAC videolaryngoscope with or without use of stylet for endotracheal intubation in patients with cervical spine immobilization.
This study was carried out to evaluate the relative efficacy of the C-MAC videolaryngoscope as compared to the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope using both styletted and non-styletted endotracheal tube (ETT) in patients undergoing elective cervical spine surgery with head and neck stabilized by manual in-line stabilization. ⋯ Use of the C-MAC videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope resulted in similar levels of intubation difficulty during cervical immobilization when used with a similar ETT-stylet assembly. The inclusion of the stylet significantly reduced the intubation difficulty experienced with the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.

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.
