A comparative study to evaluate the cervical spine movements during laryngoscopy using Macintosh and Airtraq laryngoscopes [PDF]
Background and Aim: Intubation with Macintosh requires flexing the lower cervical spine and extending the atlanto-occipital joint to create a “line of sight.” Primary aim of study was to compare the extent of cervical spine movement during laryngoscopy ...

Comparison of haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation with two different videolaryngoscopes: A randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Background: Endotracheal intubation (ETI), which is the gold standard in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), may cause myocardial ischaemia by disturbing the balance between haemodynamic changes and oxygen supply and consumption of the myocardium as ...

Comparison of neutral and sniffing position for ease of endotracheal intubation using Airtraq optical laryngoscope-A randomized trial [PDF]
Background: Traditionally, the sniffing position has been considered a standard head and neck position during direct laryngoscopy. The perfect head and neck position for video laryngoscopy has yet not been described.

The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology [PDF]
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.
