- Lead Sponsor
- Hanyang University Guri Hospital
- Brief Summary
This study demonstrates that total intubation time was significantly lower with use of a tube exchanger and vascular forceps (group V) than it was with Magill forceps (group M). The incidence of epistaxis was also significantly lower in group V than it was in group M. Therefore, nasotracheal intubation using a tube exchanger and vascular forceps offers advantages over the Magill forceps when a GlideScope is used.
