Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison of Pentax-AWS, GlideScope Cobalt, and Macintosh laryngoscope in patients for nasotracheal intubation].
We compared the time for instrumentation in nasotracheal intubation using Pentax-AWS and Glidescope to that using the Macintosh laryngoscope in patients with normal airway. ⋯ When operated by experienced anesthesiologists, both Pentax-AWS and Glidescope showed similar performance for nasotracheal intubation compared with Macintosh laryngoscope in normal airway patients.
