Hyperangulated blades or direct epiglottis lifting to optimize glottis visualization in difficult Macintosh videolaryngoscopy: a non-inferiority analysis of a prospective observational study [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 PurposeIt is unknown if direct epiglottis lifting or conversion to hyperangulated videolaryngoscopes, or even direct epiglottis lifting with hyperangulated videolaryngoscopes, may optimize glottis visualization in situations where Macintosh ...

Comparison of SEEKflex/videolaryngoscopy and fibreoptic bronchoscope for awake tracheal intubation: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is considered complex to learn and operate, and it remains controversial whether videolaryngoscopy can be used as an alternative to FOB for awake tracheal intubation (ATI).
