Background: The common cause of anesthesia related injury is inability to intubate the trachea. Video laryngoscopes present an enlarged video image of glottis while intubating the trachea. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy of intubation by Macintosh with C-MAC D-Blade and King Vision video laryngoscope (VL) in controlled hypertensive patients.
Patients and methods: 105 ASA I&II patients (ages 35 to 60) scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were divided into three groups: Macintosh (M), C-MAC D blade(C), and King Vision (K), 35 patients each. Heart rate, mean blood pressure (MBP), SpO2, EtCO2 were recorded at T1: before induction of anesthesia; T2: just before intubation; T3: 2 min after intubation; T4: 5 min after intubation. Primary outcome: time and number of attempts required to successful intubation. Seconda.. View More»
