Awake fibreoptic intubation is often considered the technique of choice when a difficult
airway is anticipated. However, videolaryngoscopes are being used more commonly. We …

Background Tracheal intubation is a common procedure performed to secure the airway in
adults undergoing surgery or those who are critically ill. Intubation is sometimes associated …

Background Cervical spine immobilisation increases the difficulty of tracheal intubation.
Many intubation devices have been evaluated in this setting, but their relative performance …

Background Maintaining cervical immobilization is essential during tracheal intubation in
patients with unstable cervical spines. When using the Macintosh laryngoscope for …

BACKGROUND: Total intubation time (TIT) is an objective indicator of tracheal intubation (TI)
difficulties. However, large variations in TIT because of diverse initial and end targets make it …

Background The efficacy of video-stylet versus video-laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in
patients with cervical spine immobilisation, which is known to impede the intubation process …

Background: The efficacy and safety of videolaryngoscopes (VLs) for tracheal intubation is
still conflicting and changeable according to airway circumstances. This study aimed to …

Background: In the evolving research into cervical spine mechanics during airway
intervention, new devices are being constantly added to the armamentarium of …

Videolaryngoscopes may reduce cervical spine movement during tracheal intubation in
patients with neck trauma. This manikin study aimed to compare the performance of …

We hypothesized that external laryngeal manipulation would reduce cervical spine motion
during video laryngoscopic intubation under manual in-line stabilization by reducing the …
