Comparisons of the Pentax-AWS, Glidescope, and Macintosh Laryngoscopes for Intubation Performance during Mechanical Chest Compressions in Left Lateral Tilt: A Randomized Simulation Study of Maternal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

ABSTRACT: Rapid advanced airway management is important in maternal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This study aimed to compare intubation performances among Pentax-AWS (AWS), Glidescope (GVL), and Macintosh laryngoscope (MCL) during mechanical chest compression in 15° and 30° left lateral tilt.In 19 emergency physicians, a prospective randomized crossover study was conducted to examine the three laryngoscopes. Primary outcomes were the intubation time and the success rate for intubation.The median intubation time using AWS was shorter than that of GVL and MCL in both tilt degrees. The time to visualize the glottic view in GVL and AWS was significantly lower than that of MCL (all P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference between the two video laryngoscopes (in 15° tilt, P = 1; in 30° tilt, P = 0.71). The progression of tracheal tube using AWS was faster than that of MCL and GVL in both degrees (all P < 0.001). Intubations using AWS and GVL showed higher success rate than that of Macintosh laryngoscopes.The AWS could be an appropriate laryngoscope for airway management of pregnant women in tilt CPR considering intubation time and success rate.

Project description:IntroductionEarly endotracheal intubation improves neurological outcomes in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, although cardiopulmonary resuscitation is initially carried out by personnel with limited experience in a significant proportion of cases. Videolaryngoscopes might decrease the number of attempts and time needed, especially among novices. We sought to compare videolaryngoscopes with direct laryngoscopes in simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation scenarios.Materials and methodsForty-four medical students were recruited to serve as novice users. Following brief, standardized training, students executed endotracheal intubation with the King Vision®, Macintosh and VividTrac® laryngoscopes, on a cardiopulmonary resuscitation trainer in normal and difficult airway scenarios. We evaluated the time to and proportion of successful intubation, the best view of the glottis, esophageal intubation, dental trauma and user satisfaction.ResultsIn the normal airway scenario, significantly shorter intubation times were achieved using the King Vision® than the Macintosh laryngoscope. In the difficult airway scenario, we found that the VividTrac® was superior to the King Vision® and Macintosh laryngoscopes in the laryngoscopy time. In both scenarios, we noted no difference in the first-attempt success rate, but the best view of the glottis and dental trauma, esophageal intubation and bougie use were more frequent with the Macintosh laryngoscope than with the videolaryngoscopes. The shortest tube insertion times were achieved using the King Vision® in both scenarios.ConclusionAll providers achieved successful intubation within three attempts, but we found no device superior in any of our scenarios regarding the first-attempt success rate. The King Vision® was superior to the Macintosh laryngoscope in the intubation time in the normal airway scenario and noninferior in the difficult airway scenario for novice users. We noted significantly less esophageal intubation using the videolaryngoscopes than using the Macintosh laryngoscope in both scenarios. Based on our results, the KingVision® might be recommended over the VividTrac® and Macintosh laryngoscopes for further evaluation.

Project description:The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether the Miller blade laryngoscope could provide better visualization of the vocal cords in morbidly obese patients than the Macintosh blade laryngoscope. The secondary objective was to identify the patient-measured factors associated with better visualization of the vocal cords when using the Miller vs. Macintosh blade, as well as whether the application of external pressure might improve the visibility of the glottis during intubation. A prospective, observational study encompassing 110 patients with a BMI > 40 undergoing elective bariatric surgery and intubation procedure was performed. The evaluation of the vocal cords was performed according to the Cormack-Lehane scale and POGO scale in the same patient during intubation, performed with a Miller and a Macintosh blade laryngoscope, in a random matter. The following parameters were assessed: body weight, height, BMI, neck circumference, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, mouth opening, and Mallampati scale and their impact on visualization of the vocal cords using the Miller blade without the application of external pressure. The Miller blade provides an improved view of the glottis compared to the Macintosh blade measured with both the Cormac-Lehane scale (45 (40.91%) without external pressure application on the larynx, and 18 (16.36%) with external pressure application on the larynx) and the POGO scale (45 (40.91%) without external pressure application on the larynx, and 19 (17.27%) with external pressure application on the larynx). The application of laryngeal pressure improved the view of the glottis. Among the measured features, a significant improvement in the visibility of the glottis could be found in patients with a BMI over 44.244 kg/m2 and a neck circumference over 46 cm. To conclude, the usage of the Miller blade improves the visibility of the glottis compared to the Macintosh blade in morbidly obese patients. The recommendation to use the Miller blade in this group of patients requires further investigation, taking into account the effectiveness of the intubation. Trial Registration: NCT05494463.
