Comparison of Video Laryngoscopy Technologies [PDF]

Journal of Medical Devices, 2009
Indirect laryngoscopy allows practitioners to “see around the corner” of a patient's airway during intubation. Inadequate airway management is a major contributor to patient injury, morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the video quality of commercially available video laryngoscopy systems.

Diagnostic value of the percentage of glottic opening score for classifying videolaryngoscopy in children: a prospective validation study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score quantifies the laryngeal view obtained during laryngoscopy. This secondary analysis of the prospective observational PeDiAC study aimed to compare the POGO score with subjective glottic view ratings on a visual analogue scale (VAS) for classifying difficult videolaryngoscopic tracheal ...
