Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a cornerstone of airway management. The gold standard device for ETI is still the direct laryngoscope (DL). However, video laryngoscopes (VLs) are now also widely available and have several proven advantages.

The Evolution of Equipment and Technology for Visualising the Larynx and Airway.

Adv Exp Med Biol

April 2023

Craigavon Hospital, Southern Health and Social Care Trust, Craigavon, UK.

Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are the core skills of an anaesthetist. The tools and equipment used today are unrecognisable from the methods used in the first recorded attempts at laryngoscopy over 200 years ago. The evolution of the modern-day laryngoscopes has mirrored advancements in technology within general society, and particularly with regard to computer and fibreoptic technology over the last 30 years.

Article Synopsis
  • A comparative study evaluated the effectiveness of King Vision video laryngoscope (KVVL) against the Macintosh direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubating critically ill ICU patients, focusing on glottic view, success rates, and intubation time.
  • Results showed that KVVL provided significantly better glottic visualization and a higher first-pass success rate (95.7% vs. 81.4%), with faster intubation times compared to Macintosh DL.
  • Both methods had similar airway morbidities, but the KVVL required less manipulation for intubation, highlighting the promise of KVVL when used by experienced professionals.

Evaluation of the Effect of Intubation Box use on Tracheal Intubation Difficulty with King Vision and Truview Videolaryngoscope in Manikin in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Rom J Anaesth Intensive Care

July 2021

Comparative study to evaluate the effect of intubation box on tracheal intubation difficulty with King Vision® and TRUVIEW video laryngoscope in manikin in a tertiary care hospita, India.

Background: The procedures of introducing an airway by intubation are associated with increased risk of aerosolisation of SARS-CoV-2 virus, posing a high risk to the personnel involved. Newer and novel methods such as the intubation box have been developed to increase the safety of healthcare workers during intubation.

Methods Design: In this study, 33 anaesthesiologist and critical care specialists intubated the trachea of the airway manikin (US Laerdal Medical AS™) 4 times using a King Vision videolaryngoscope and TRUVIEW PCD™ videolaryngoscope (with and without an intubation box as described by Lai).

Purpose: A videolaryngoscope(VL) with an intubation conduit like KingVision channeled(KVC) blade may provide an added advantage over a non-channeled VL like a KingVision non-channeled (KVNC) blade and direct laryngoscope (DL) for acquiring and retention of intubation skills, especially in novices.

Methods: In this prospective two-period randomized crossover trial, one hundred medical students used three laryngoscopes KVC, KVNC and DL for intubation following standardized training with the study devices using a Laerdal Airway Management Trainer. After one month, all participants attempted intubation, in the same manner, using all devices.
