GlideScope®Video Laryngoscope for Difficult Intubation: Implication of the Size of Blade
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Macintosh laryngoscope, GVL selected by weight, and 1 other intervention for Intubation; Difficult. Completed, enrolled 23 participants.
Detailed Summary
The investigators evaluated the usefulness of the Glidescope(GVL) compared with direct laryngoscopy in patients whose airway management are anticipated difficult (C\&L grade ≥3) by comparing the laryngoscopic view. Also, the investigators compared the effectiveness of smaller-size blade of GVL (GVLs) with standard blade of GVL selected by patient's weight (GVLw) in the same patients.
