Brief summary
new glidoscope was tested on 401 patients
Detailed description
Four hundred and one patients who were scheduled for elective operation, were randomly assigned to be intubated by direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade size 3rd (DL, n=196) or intubation using the video laryngoscope (VL, n=205). Prior to intubation all patients were given a similar regimen of induction of anesthesia. The patients were then intubated, using direct laryngoscopy or the VL, by a different anesthetist during which the larynx was inspected and given a laryngoscopy score. Time to intubate, failure rate, injuries, personnel pleasure and, aspiration rate were measured
