Intubation of patients requiring cervical spine immobilization can be challenging. Recently, the use of C-MAC video laryngoscopes (VL) has increased in popularity over direct laryngoscopy (DL). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of C-MAC VL as compared with DL for intubation in C-spine immobilized patients.

Purpose Video laryngoscopes were being used more often in cases of potentially difficult airways. The Karl Storz video stylet offered clear advantages over conventional laryngoscopes for patients with cervical spine fractures. This study aimed to compare the performance of the C-MAC video laryngoscope with the new Karl Storz video stylet in patients with simulated cervical fracture injuries.

A Comparison of the Effectiveness of the McCoy Laryngoscope and the C-MAC D-Blade Video Laryngoscope in Obese Patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity complicates intubation during general anesthesia, prompting a study to compare the effectiveness of McCoy and C-MAC D-blade video laryngoscopes in patients with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m.
  • The research involved 104 obese patients, measuring primary outcomes like intubation time and secondary outcomes including vocal cord exposure, successful intubation rates, and hemodynamic variables.
  • Results showed no significant difference in intubation time, but the C-MAC group had better vocal cord exposure results and lower intubation difficulty scores, suggesting it may offer more stability and effectiveness for obese patients.

Background And Aims: Awake intubation is the preferred method for securing difficult airways. We compared intravenous (IV) propofol and dexmedetomidine for C-MAC D-blade-guided anticipated difficult nasotracheal intubation under conscious sedation.

Methods: This randomised study included 60 patients with difficult airway (El-Ganzouri Score 4-9).

Background: A difficult airway is anticipated with cervical spine injuries (CSIs) as immobilization techniques such as manual in-line stabilization (MILS) are used, which distort the oro-pharyngeal-laryngeal axis. Video laryngoscopes (VLs) make difficult airway management easy, as they do not require axis alignment. The present study aimed to compare the total time taken by Macintosh laryngoscope (ML), conventional blade, and D-blade ™ of C-MAC ® VL in simulated CSI scenarios using MILS.
