Summary

A randomised controlled trial of intubation by inexperienced anaesthetists, comparing the The Pentax Airway Scope AWS-S100 Rigid Video Laryngoscope(Pentax AWS) and the Macintosh Laryngoscope.

Conditions

  • Anaesthesia
  • Airway Management
  • Videolaryngoscopy

Interventions

DEVICE

Macintosh Laryngoscope

Device used to gain a direct view of the vocal cords, to enable an endotracheal tube to be passed into the trachea at induction of anaesthesia.

DEVICE

Pentax AWS Videolaryngoscope

Self-contained video laryngoscope with an integral colour-viewing screen mounted on the handle. A camera at the tip transmits an indirect image, which obviates the need to obtain a direct view of the vocal cords, when passing an endotracheal tube on induction of anaesthesia.
