A comparison of McGrath and Macintosh laryngoscopes in novice users: a manikin study.

30 Oct 2009 Direct laryngoscopy using the Macintosh laryngoscope is a difficult skill to acquire. Videolaryngoscopy is a widely accepted airway management technique that may be easier for novices to learn. We compared the McGrath videolaryngoscope and Macintosh ... Read more...

Randomised comparison of Pentax AirwayScope and Glidescope for tracheal intubation in patients with normal airway anatomy.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: We compared intubating characteristics of the Pentax AirwayScope and Glidescope in a randomised controlled trial involving 140 patients. We found significantly shorter intubation times with mean (SD) 21.3 (12.3) vs 30.2 (13.2) s, lower ... Read more...

Tracheal intubation with restricted access: a randomised comparison of the Pentax-Airway Scope and Macintosh laryngoscope in a manikin.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: Ten anaesthetists assessed the ease of tracheal intubation (time to see the glottis, to intubate the trachea and to ventilate), using the Pentax Airway Scope and Macintosh laryngoscope in a manikin, in three simulated circumstances of ... Read more...
