Summary

Forces applied on soft upper tissues by different laryngoscope blades during direct laryngoscopy and intubation are considered to be major stimuli to cause serious damages to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare the force and pressure applied to soft tissue in order to achieve the same glottis view comparing direct laryngoscopy and videolaryngoscopy in vivo.

Conditions

  • Tracheal Intubation
  • Laryngoscopy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Forces applied by laryngoscope

Force and pressure distribution applied by direct or indirect laryngoscope during glottis visualization and intubation were measured using film pressure transducers.
