Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the EasyTube and endotracheal tube during general anesthesia in fasted adult patients.
To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, ease of placement, and ventilatory parameters of a new alternate airway device, the EasyTube (EzT; Teleflex Ruesch, Research Triangle Park, NC), in comparison to the endotracheal tube (ETT). ⋯ Insertion of an EzT appears to reduce time and facilitate placement of an airway device when compared with direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.
