Comparison of Ease of Intubation and Haemodynamic Stability of Macintosh Laryngoscope versus Truview Video Laryngoscope
Author(s): Parth Kalathiya* and Vandana Trivedi
Background: The most challenging aspect for the anesthesiologist in case of requiring general anaesthesia is the insertion of a Tracheal tube. Airway management and endotracheal intubation are fundamental skills for the safe conduct of anaesthesia. Despite of popularity of Macintosh laryngoscope in routine surgeries, failures during intubation are not uncommon, especially in patients with unanticipated difficult airway. Recent advances gives opportunity with development of video laryngoscope which does not require alignment of the oral-pharyngeal-laryngeal axes that may reduce the difficult in endotracheal intubation. So in this study, we compared Hemodynamic parameters and duration of Intubation between Macintosh laryngoscope and Truview video laryngoscope. Review Video laryngoscope is device with unique blade which provides 42° anterior reflected view of larynx .. View More»
