Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of consensus on the best videolaryngoscope for awake tracheal intubation in patients expected to have difficult airways, leading to a study comparing the C-MAC D-Blade® and Airtraq®.
- A randomized clinical trial involved 90 adult patients undergoing surgery with anticipated difficult airways, focusing on the first-attempt tracheal intubation success rate as the primary outcome.
- Results showed a significantly higher first-attempt success rate for the C-MAC D-Blade (84%) compared to the Airtraq (62%), while overall success rates were similar for both, suggesting the C-MAC D-Blade may be more effective for initial intubation attempts.
