Ramped versus sniffing position in the videolaryngoscopy-guided tracheal intubation of morbidly obese patients: a prospective randomized study [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023 Background Ramped positioning is recommended for intubating obese patients undergoing direct laryngoscopy. However, whether the use of the ramped position can provide any benefit in videolaryngoscopy-guided intubation remains unclear. This study assessed

The levering laryngoscope [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1993 Summary This is a report of a modification of the standard Macintosh laryngoscope blade to facilitate tracheal tube placement in cases of difficult visualisation of the larynx. The modification offers the unique advantage of a hinged blade tip, controlled by a lever on the handle of the larygoscope which allows elevation of the ...

Comparison between GlideRite® rigid stylet and Parker Flex-It™ stylet to facilitate GlideScope intubation in simulated difficult intubation: a randomized controlled study [PDF]
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2022 Background The GlideScope® videolaryngoscope (GVL) is widely used in patients with difficult airways and provides a good glottic view. However, the acute angle of the blade can make insertion and advancement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) more difficult ...

Study on the effect of a cold environment on the quality of three video laryngoscopes: McGrath MAC, GlideScope Ranger, and Pentax Airway Scope [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2019 Objective Several environmental factors influence the prehospital use of video laryngoscopes (VLs). For example, fogging of the VL lens can occur in cold environments, and the low temperature can cause the VLs to malfunction.
