Randomized Controlled Trial[Clinical study of SMT-Ⅱ video laryngoscope with difficult airway intubation in emergency department].
Objective: To observe the clinical feasibility and security of SMT-Ⅱ video laryngoscope in difficult airway intubation in emergency department. Methods: This study took 90 adults with difficult airway who were admitted to the rescue room of Jingxi court of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2016. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups(SMT-Ⅱ video laryngoscope group: n=45, Macintosh direct laryngoscope group: n=45), which were treated with endotracheal intubation and ventilator assisted ventilation. ⋯ There was a significant difference between the two groups at the 5-time points of HR(F=15.857, P=0.000). Conclusions: SMT-Ⅱ video laryngoscope uesd in difficult ariway enable better visualization of the glottic opening, short opertive time, enhance the success rate of intubation. It indicucates that SMT-Ⅱ video laryngoscope is safer than Macintosh direct laryngoscope in patients with difficult airway.
