  • Title: ALTERNATIVE DEVICES IN AIRWAY VISUALIZATION.
    Author: Maldini B, Hodžović I, Goranović T.
    Journal: Acta Clin Croat; 2016 Mar; 55 Suppl 1():76-84. PubMed ID: 27276777.
    Abstract:
    The Macintosh laryngoscope has been the most widely used device for intubation since its invention by Foregger in the 1940s. Recently, video and optic laryngoscopy assisted tracheal intubation has been used widely in patients with difficult airways. Their routine use, however, is not widely practiced. This review will summarize some of the newly available devices to assist tracheal intubation, with their advantages and disadvantages when compared with conventional laryngoscopes. It also presents the reasons to support their use in both elective and emergency airway management.
