Comparative Study
[Comparison of airway scope and videolaryngoscope portable VLP-100 in the presence of a neck collar--a manikin study].
Tracheal intubation should be performed with great care in the multiple injury patient, particularly when damage to the cervical spine is suspected. The patient with unstable cervical spine requires a neck collar in prehospital area, and medical personnel may be required to perform tracheal intubation. We compared Macintosh laryngoscope with the Airway Scope (AWS), and Coopdeck videolaryngoscope portable VLP-100 (VLP-100) in a manikin model with the presence of a neck collar. ⋯ The AWS may possess advantages over conventional direct laryngoscopes in patients with restricted neck movement.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of three videolaryngoscopes: Pentax Airway Scope, C-MAC, Glidescope vs the Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation.
We compared the intubating characteristics of the Pentax Airway Scope, the C-MAC and the Glidescope with those of the Macintosh laryngoscope in 400 patients without predictors of difficult intubation. We found shorter intubation times with the Airway Scope (mean (SD) 20.6 (11.5) s) compared with the C-MAC (31.9 (17.6) s) and Glidescope (31.2 (15.0) s), p < 0.001. The median (IQR [range]) score for ease of intubation was significantly lower (better) with the Airway Scope (0 (0-8.75 [0-60])) than with the C-MAC (10 (0-20 [0-90])) or Glidescope (0 (0-20 [0-80])), p < 0.001. ⋯ More patients had a grade 1 laryngeal view with the Airway Scope (97%) compared with the C-MAC (87%), Glidescope (78%), or Macintosh (58%), p < 0.001. There were no grade 3 laryngeal views with the Airway Scope. The three videolaryngoscopes had comparable first attempt successful intubation rates: 95% for the Airway Scope, 93% for the C-MAC and 91% for the Glidescope.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Faster double-lumen tube intubation with the videolaryngoscope than with a standard laryngoscope].
This study was designed to compare videolaryngoscopy with direct laryngoscopy with respect to ease of intubation when inserting a double lumen tube (DLT). ⋯ The use of a videolaryngoscope reduces the time required for intubation with a DLT compared with the direct laryngoscopy in elective thoracic surgery.
