Meta Analysis Comparative Study
[Efficacy of Glidescope video laryngoscope in difficult airways: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials].
Increased evidence indicates that the Glidescope video laryngoscope (GVL) is useful for difficult tracheal intubations. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of the GVL in difficult tracheal intubations, comparing with that of Macintosh laryngoscopy. ⋯ Our meta-analysis showed that GVL has an advantage over Macintosh laryngoscope in respect to the success rate for difficult tracheal intubations.
