Brief summary

Background and Objective: Airway control is a condition that should be evaluated primarily in anesthesia practice in the pediatric age group. Failed intubation or prolonged intubation duration can cause atelectasis and hypoxia in children. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Macintosh laryngoscopy and McGrath videolaryngoscopy on hemodynamic parameters in pediatric patients who were scheduled to undergo elective dental surgery and required intubation for the application of general anesthesia. Methods: Sixty-six patients were divided into two groups according to the procedure used during intubation, namely, direct laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy. The Cormack-Lehane and Mallampati scores, intubation duration, heart rate at minutes 0, 1, 3 and 5 during intubation, mean arterial pressure, EtCO2and SpO2 values were recorded for all the patients.

Detailed description

Many techniques in the management of a difficult airway have been used in adult patients. In pediatric patients, awake fiberoptic intubation is difficult or even impossible . The video laryngoscope is a new tool produced by combining video technology and laryngoscope. Published studies on the video laryngoscope were mostly performed in adults . In this study, we used a Macintosh laryngoscope, which is a routinely used tool in anesthesiology, and a McGrath video laryngoscope, which is a type of a newly developed video laryngoscope that has not widely been used in the pediatric age group. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Macintosh laryngoscopy and McGrath videolaryngoscopy on hemodynamic parameters in pediatric patients who were scheduled to undergo elective dental surgery and required intubation for the application of general anesthesia. We also evaluated whether Macintosh laryngoscopy and McGrath videolaryngoscopy improved the stress response and whether these approaches facilitated the intubation procedure.

Interventions

DEVICELaryngoscopy

During the intubation, the head of the patient was kept in a neutral position, patients were nasotracheally intubated
