Brief Summary

Glottic visualization, intubation success, complications and accidental esophageal intubation rate of direct laryngoscopy (DL) and videolaryngoscopy (VL) were compared in patients with UDA.

Conditions

Difficult Airway; Videolaryngoscopy

Keywords

Anesthesia; intubation; airway management; laryngoscopy; difficult airway; videolaryngoscopy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Intubation success

  Successful intubation rate with DL or VL in patients with unpredictable difficult airway

  From anesthesia induction until the attempt of intubation is completed (peri-induction period).

Study Arms (1)

Patients with unanticipated difficult airway

In the present study, the records of patients with unanticipated difficult airway in the clinic were retrospectively reviewed. The aim was to compare the effects of direct laryngoscopy and videolaryngoscopy on glottic visualization, intubation success, and complications in patients with unanticipated difficult airway.
