Meta Analysis Comparative Study
McGrath videolaryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation: A systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.
The McGrath laryngoscope is a novel self-contained videolaryngoscope with a single-use blade. There are several anecdotal reports that the McGrath is superior to the Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation. However this remains controversial. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggests that the McGrath is superior to the Macintosh in terms of glottic visualization (GRADE: moderate). However, it significantly extends intubation time (GRADE: very low) and its success rate (GRADE: very low) for tracheal intubation is not excellent. TSA suggests that further studies are necessary to confirm the results of intubation time.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Improving patient safety during procedural sedation via respiratory volume monitoring: A randomized controlled trial.
Assess the utility of a respiratory volume monitor (RVM) to reduce the incidence of low minute ventilation events in procedural sedation. ⋯ Patients in the Control group spent more than double the amount of time with Low MV compared to the RVM group. This difference became more pronounced when the anesthesiologist found the RVM useful for managing care, lending credibility to the usage of minute ventilation monitoring in procedural sedation.
