Neutral Position Facilitates Orotracheal Intubation With Videolaryngoscopes

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

With the advent and more widespread use of video-assisted laryngoscopy (VL), the incidence of difficult intubation has decreased. However, the optimal position for endotracheal intubation facilitated by VL is not yet determined. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of different patient positioning (neutral position versus sniffing position) on the glottic view and intubation time during orotracheal intubation facilitated by two video-assisted laryngoscopes (McGrath laryngoscope and C-MAC D-blade laryngoscope). A total of 252 patients who required orotracheal intubation for elective surgery were included in the study. Primary outcomes include airway difficulty score(ADS), intubation difficulty scale (IDS), the percentage of glottic opening (POGO) and intubation time. By the indexes above and crossover analysis, the study aimed to prove the ideal position for VL.
