Study investigates cardiovascular effects of three intubation devices (MAC, UE, VS) on cardiac output and hemodynamics in normotensive and hypertensive patients.
Significant finding: intubation time was notably shorter in the UE group compared to MAC in both patient categories.
In hypertensive patients, MAC caused higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure immediately post-intubation compared to UE and VS, while other hemodynamic parameters showed no significant differences across devices.
