Laryngoscopes

08/01/2006 - "We conclude that laryngoscope-guided, gum elastic bougie-guided insertion of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway is superior to conventional laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation for airway management in terms of insertion success, expired tidal volume, and airway trauma by first-month anesthesia residents after brief manikin-only training. "

"
07/01/2011 - "This study assesses intubation times and potential trauma with two new portable video laryngoscopes, the GlideScope Ranger (GSR) and the Venner A.P. "

01/01/2014 - "Students' self-rated confidence in performing procedural skills on real patients improved significantly after the workshop: inserting laryngeal mask (MD 0.667), oropharyngeal (MD 0.198) and nasopharyngeal (MD 0.600) airways, performing Bag-Valve-Mask (MD 0.379), double (MD 0.344) and triple (MD 0.326,) airway manoeuvre, doing 12-lead electrocardiography (MD 0.729), using laryngoscope (MD 0.726), using Magill® forceps to remove foreign body (MD 0.632), attempting thoracocentesis (MD 1.240), and putting on a traction splint (MD 0.865). "
11/01/2013 - "In our experience video laryngoscope, because of the magnified vision, the better patient comfort and no requirement of general anesthesia, represents a great improvement in identifying and removing in conscious sedation even small and thin foreign bodies not recognized by radiological and otolaryngology examination and not readily detected by direct endoscopy."
10/01/2012 - "Comparison of GlideScope(®) versus Macintosh laryngoscope for the removal of a hypopharyngeal foreign body: a randomized cross-over cadaver study."
11/01/2014 - "Laryngoscope bulb - an unusual foreign body in nasopharynx."
11/01/2013 - "Glide video laryngoscope for the management of foreign bodies impacted at the hypopharyngeal level in adults."

04/01/2013 - "The aim of this study was to assess the possible increase in the safe apnea time with the use of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) as a conduit prior to laryngoscope-guided intubation in morbidly obese patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. "
06/01/2015 - "This is a case series with chart review of 59 consecutive pediatric patients with a diagnosis of cervical esophageal coin who underwent anterior-commissure laryngoscope (ACLA) extraction during apnea. "
06/01/2015 - "Anterior-commissure laryngoscope extraction of esophageal coins in children using an apnea technique."
01/01/2014 - "After laryngoscopy the laryngoscope was withdrawn to simulate a Grade 4 laryngoscopy and held in this position for an apnea time (T1) of 10 min with SpO2 maintained at ≥95% or until SpO2 dropped to < 95%, whichever is earlier. "
08/01/2009 - "Because LMA CTrach promoted short apnea time and the Airtraq laryngoscope allowed early definitive airway, both video-assisted tracheal intubation devices prevented most serious arterial oxygenation desaturation evidenced during tracheal intubation of morbidly obese patients with the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope."

02/01/2014 - "In addition, the incidence of hoarseness in the Glide Scope group, at 6 and 24 hours after the operation, were significantly lower than in the Macintosh laryngoscope group. "
12/01/2003 - "Patients with hoarseness should be routinely examinated by indirect laryngoscope, stroboscopy or electrolaryngostroboscopy. "
05/01/2000 - "The number of patients who complained of hoarseness was larger in the lightwand groups than in the laryngoscope groups (P < 0.05). "
02/01/2014 - "The present study was conducted, to compare postoperative sore throat and hoarseness after laryngoscopy and intubation, by Macintosh blade or Glide Scope video laryngoscope in normal airway patients. "
09/01/1997 - "This prospective, randomized study found that the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness, and difficulty in swallowing among ambulatory surgical patients is more frequent when they are endotracheally intubated with a rigid laryngoscope than with a light wand. "

04/01/2015 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of video-laryngoscopes and fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in tracheal intubation on a mannequin with several difficult airways, including limited mouth opening, cervical spine rigidity and tongue edema. "
06/01/2013 - "Experienced emergency physicians were recruited and a randomized crossover trial was conducted to compare the performance of the Pentax-Airwayscope (AWS) video-laryngoscope with the Macintosh laryngoscope (McL) for tracheal intubation during continuous chest compressions under three different scenarios: (1) normal airway, (2) limited neck mobility, and (3) tongue edema. "
09/01/2013 - "On fiberoptic examination with the flexible laryngoscope, the patient was found to have slightto-moderate watery edema of the right aryepiglottic fold and right greater than left arytenoid cartilages. "
07/01/2013 - "A fiberoptic laryngoscope (FOL) demonstrated beefy red edematous epiglottis with edema extending from the base of the tongue to the aryepiglottic folds and arytenoids. "
08/01/2012 - "In a manikin with tongue edema, the AWS was associated with a significantly higher success rate of intubation than the VLP-100 and the Macintosh laryngoscope (P < 0.05). "
