Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison of modified and conventional methods in orotracheal intubetion of GlideScope videolaryngoscope].
To compare the modified and conventional methods in orotracheal intubation of GlideScope videolaryngoscope. ⋯ The modified method can improve the readiness of the procedure but it shows no advantages in prevention of adverse hemodynamic responses during the orotracheal intubetion of videolaryngoscopy.

Comparative StudyComparison of the Pentax Airway Scope and McGrath Videolaryngoscope with the Macintosh laryngoscope in tracheal intubation by anaesthetists unfamiliar with videolaryngoscopes: a manikin study.
Videolaryngoscopes are becoming widely available and have been suggested as a replacement for the Macintosh in cases of cervical instability or even for use in the first instance. There is limited existing data on the use of videoscopes by experienced anaesthetists who are inexperienced in the use of videoscopes. We used a manikin model to compare time to intubation between the Macintosh blade, Pentax Airway Scope and the McGrath videolaryngoscope in a simulated urgent intubation by 23 experienced anaesthetists with no prior experience in the use of these videoscopes. ⋯ Only 48% of participants (n=11) could intubate within three minutes using the McGrath videolaryngoscope and required a median of three attempts. This difference occurred despite the majority of anaesthetists obtaining a Grade 1 Cormack and Lehane view with both videoscopes. We demonstrated that anaesthetists who were naive to these videoscopes can successfully intubate the trachea using the Pentax Airway Scope but not the McGrath videolaryngoscope.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of three videolaryngoscopes: the Macintosh laryngoscope blade reduces, but does not replace, routine stylet use for intubation in morbidly obese patients.
Many manufacturers are producing videolaryngoscopes (VLSs) with differing specifications, user interfaces, and geometry. It is clinically relevant to know the relative performance of the blades. Visualization of the glottis and intubation are often problematic in (extremely) obese patients, and the new video technology may offer better functionality and performance. Although many tracheal intubations with direct laryngoscopy are performed with an unstyletted endotracheal tube, it is recommended to use a stylet for intubation using videolaryngoscopy. In this study, we compared 3 VLSs in morbidly obese patients undergoing intubation for elective surgery and tested whether it is feasible to intubate the tracheas of morbidly obese patients without using a stylet. ⋯ In this study, the VLS with the Macintosh blade (Storz VLS) had a better overall satisfaction score, intubation time, number of intubation attempts, and necessity of extra adjuncts, compared with the 2 other tested devices.
