Force and Pressure Distribution Using Macintosh and GlideScope Laryngoscopes in Normal Airway: an in Vivo Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Forces applied by laryngoscope for Tracheal Intubation and Laryngoscopy. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Forces applied on soft upper tissues by different laryngoscope blades during direct laryngoscopy and intubation are considered to be major stimuli to cause serious damages to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare the force and pressure applied to soft tissue in order to achieve the same glottis view comparing direct laryngoscopy and videolaryngoscopy in vivo.

Timeline
Interventions
Force and pressure distribution applied by direct or indirect laryngoscope during glottis visualization and intubation were measured using film pressure transducers.
