TLDR
There was no significant difference between the Airtraq and the Macintosh laryngoscopes regarding the time needed to insert a double-lumen tube during elective thoracic surgery.Abstract:
CONTEXTThe Airtraq is a disposable optical laryngoscope that is available in a double-lumen tube version. Inserting a double-lumen tube is generally more difficult compared to conventional endotracheal intubation, mainly due to its configuration.OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to compare the Airtread more

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adult patients requiring tracheal intubation
TL;DR: The primary objective was to assess whether use of videolaryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in adults requiring general anaesthesia reduces risks of complications and failure compared with direct laryngoscope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adults undergoing tracheal intubation.
TL;DR: Whether use of different designs of VLs in adults requiring tracheal intubation reduces the failure rate compared with direct laryngoscopy is assessed, and the benefits and risks of these devices in selected population groups, users and settings are assessed.

Lung Isolation in the Patient With a Difficult Airway.
TL;DR: Anesthesiologists should be familiar with existing alternatives to the DLT for lung isolation and alternative techniques for DLT placement in the patient with a difficult airway.

Videolaryngoscopy vs. Macintosh laryngoscopy for double-lumen tube intubation in thoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: It is found that videolaryngoscopy provided a higher success rate at first attempt for double‐lumen tube intubation, with an odds ratio (95%CI) of 2.77 (1.92–4.00) (12 studies, 1215 patients, moderate‐quality evidence, p < 0.00001), as well as a lower incidence of oral, mucosal or dental injuries during double‐ lumen tubeintubation.

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adults undergoing tracheal intubation
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the benefits and risks of different designs of videolaryngoscopy in adults requiring tracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscope (DL) and assess the benefits of these devices in selected population groups, users and settings.

Difficult tracheal intubation in obstetrics
R. S. Cormack,J. Lehane +1 more
TL;DR: Frequency analysis suggests that, in obstetrics, the main cause of trouble is grade 3, in which the epiglottis can be seen, but not the cords, which is fairly rare, and can be helpful as part of the training before starting in the maternity department.

A clinical sign to predict difficult tracheal intubation: a prospective study

TL;DR: In this paper, a relatively simple grading system which involves preoperative ability to visualize the faucial pillars, soft palate and base of uvula was designed as a means of predicting the degree of difficulty in laryngeal exposure.

TL;DR: A quantitative score that can be used to evaluate intubating conditions and techniques with the aim of determining the relative values predictive factors of intubation difficulty and of the techniques used to decrease such difficulties is developed.
