Combined use of an Airtraq® optical laryngoscope, Airtraq video camera, Airtraq wireless monitor, and a fibreoptic bronchoscope after failed tracheal intubation [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2011 To the Editor, Optical technology and fibreoptic systems have resulted in significant advances in management of the difficult airway. Optical laryngoscopes, such as the Airtraq (Prodol Meditec S.A., Vizcaya, Spain), provide an improved indirect view of the upper airway, achieving a higher intubation success rate than direct laryngoscopy.

Case Reports in Anesthesiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 We report on a case of mechanical damage to the spiral‐filled polyvinyl chloride endotracheal tube that occurred shortly after tracheal intubation using a channeled videolaryngoscope (Pentax airway scope). We also found this problem in two other cases among 350 neurosurgery patients over the past 5 years.

A comparative study of McGrath and Airtraq videolaryngoscopes for tracheal intubation
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2017 Background and Aims: Many cases of difficult tracheal intubation remain unrecognized until after induction of anesthesia. McGrath and Airtraq videolaryngoscopes are among the novel laryngoscopes that have an advantage over the conventional laryngoscopes ...

Airtraq™ versus Macintoch laryngoscope in intubation performance in the pediatric population
Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2012 Purpose: Airtraq™ is an optical laryngoscope that allows viewing of the vocal cords without a direct line of sight. The main objective of this prospective, randomized, controlled trial was to evaluate Airtraq intubation characteristics, mainly intubation
