  • Title: [Comparison of performance of endotracheal intubation by senior residents in anesthesiology using Airway Scope VS Macintosh laryngoscope].
    Author: Hakozaki T, Hirabayashi Y, Seo N.
    Journal: Masui; 2009 Jan; 58(1):100-2. PubMed ID: 19175024.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: To evaluate the performance of the Airway Scope, we studied the time to complete endotracheal intubation performed by senior residents in anesthesiology. METHODS: The trachea of the patient was intubated using the Airway Scope (n = 90) or the Macintosh laryngoscope (n = 81). RESULTS: The time to complete endotracheal intubation was 42 +/- 23 sec with the Airway Scope and 41 +/- 20 sec with the Macintosh laryngoscope. CONCLUSIONS: The Airway Scope performed as well as the Macintosh laryngoscope when used by senior residents in anesthesiology on patients with normal airway.
