Study Overview
Brief Summary
The Aim of the study was to determine the impact of the videolaryngoscpe on the time needed to intubate.
This was a Prospective, randomized, simple blinded study. The participants intubated patients for surgery under general anesthesia either with direct laryngoscpy or with videolaryngoscopy.
Detailed Description
Intubation on full stomach is at high risk of pulmonary suction. It must be quick, as this risk increases with the time needed to intubate. Videolaryngoscope (VL) is recommended in case of difficult airway. Yet, its interest in full stomach remains unclear, as the time needed to intubate with a VL is variable in literature.
