Brief summary
Comparison of Intubation using Pentax (Pentas AWS, Pentax, Tokyo, Japan) and Macintoch in pediatric patients
Detailed description
Pentax video laryngoscope (Pentas AWS, Pentax, Tokyo, Japan) is one of indirect optical laryngoscopes which is recently developed. Several studies have shown that the Pentax-AWS® provides full views of the glottis in the majority of patients. It makes successful tracheal intubation in patients after failed intubation using a Macintosh laryngoscope. In pediatric patients who is expected to be difficult to intubate, Pentax makes successful intubation.
