Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of tip-manipulated stylet angle on intubation using the GlideScope® videolaryngoscope in children: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
An optimal endotracheal tube curve can be a key factor in successful intubation using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope. ⋯ Having additional angle of the endotracheal tube tip to the left could be a useful technique to facilitate directing and advancing endotracheal tube into the vocal cords.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of the C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope and direct laryngoscope in pediatric patients: Randomized controlled trial.
Endotracheal intubation is a key skill for clinicians and may be challenging in some patients due to various reasons. Nowadays, various kinds of videolaryngoscopes are available and usually used as a rescue device when direct laryngoscopy failed. Pediatric airway has some differences when compared with adults and may be challenging. This study aims to compare and evaluate C Mac D-Blade and commonly used Macintosh laryngoscope in pediatric patients. ⋯ C Mac D-Blade videolaryngoscope shortened intubation time about twice when compared to Macintosh blade C Mac D-Blade videolaryngoscope, Videolaryngoscopes may be a good alternative for routine intubation, education and a rescue device for difficult intubation.

In children who have craniofacial asymmetry secondary to neurofibromatosis type 1, the securing of the airway can be challenging. These patients have varying degrees of head and neck tumors that complicate endotracheal intubation. Anesthesiologists have many techniques and devices that assist us in securing adult airways and these devices are available in pediatric sizes which can also be used to safely secure the smaller airways. ⋯ This is a case report of improvement of intubating conditions using both devices concurrently.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of learning direct laryngoscopy using a McGrath videolaryngoscope as a direct versus indirect laryngoscope: a randomized controlled trial.
Tracheal intubation using a direct laryngoscope is difficult to teach. The McGrath videolaryngoscope, a Macintosh-like device with a camera, can be used as a direct laryngoscope to educate novices under supervision using the screen. We compared the effect on Macintosh laryngoscopy skills following training with a McGrath videolaryngoscope as a direct versus indirect laryngoscope. ⋯ Both direct and indirect laryngoscopy using a McGrath videolaryngoscope improved the performance of Macintosh direct laryngoscopy in novices, while direct laryngoscopy using a McGrath videolaryngoscope demonstrated better educational effects than indirect laryngoscopy.Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03471975).
