Endotracheal intubation in elective cervical surgery: A randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded study

We compared the effectiveness and safety of endotracheal intubation using the GlideScope (GS) video laryngoscope, CTrach laryngeal mask airway (LMA), or Shikani optical stylet rigid laryngoscope (SOS) during elective cervical surgery. Forty-five patients undergoing elective cervical surgery were ran...

Description
Summary:We compared the effectiveness and safety of endotracheal intubation using the GlideScope (GS) video laryngoscope, CTrach laryngeal mask airway (LMA), or Shikani optical stylet rigid laryngoscope (SOS) during elective cervical surgery. Forty-five patients undergoing elective cervical surgery were randomly and equally assigned to endotracheal intubation via GS, LMA, or SOS airway management. Endotracheal intubation was successfully completed in all patients. The mean intubation times of the groups differed significantly (P
