Brief summary
difficult intubation is high in the 0-1 year period. Video laryngoscopes improved intubation success rate when compared to direct laryngoscopy. We compared the Airtraq, Glidescope, and c-mac video laryngoscopes during intubation of \<1 year old children undergoing neurosurgery.
Detailed description
Aim: difficult intubation is high in the 0-1 year period. Video laryngoscopes improved intubation success rate when compared to direct laryngoscopy. Methods: We enroll 20 patients age under 1 year old undergoing neurosurgery in this prospective randomized study. We compared the Airtraq, Glidescope, and c-mac video laryngoscopes during intubation of \<1 year old children undergoing neurosurgery regarding intubation times and intubation success rates.
Interventions
airtraq video laryngoscope was used for intubation of the infant
glidescope video laryngoscope was used for intubation of the infant
c-mac video laryngoscope was used for intubation of the infant
