Summary

The Airtraq optical laryngoscope has recently been available in pediatric sizes. The investigators compared the efficacy of Airtraq with the Miller laryngoscope as intubation devices in paediatric patients. This prospective, randomized study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I-II paediatric patients of 2-10 years, posted for routine surgery requiring tracheal intubation were randomly allocated to undergo intubation using a Miller (n = 30) or Airtraq (n = 30) laryngoscope. The primary outcome measures were time of intubation, ease of intubation, number of attempts and POGO score. We also measured hemodynamic changes and airway trauma.
