A comparative study of haemodynamic effects of single-blinded orotracheal intubations with intubating laryngeal mask airway, Macintosh and McGrath video laryngoscopes

Abstract

In present times, ventilation therapies such as intubation are more prominent, and difficulties have been reported during intubations [1-4]. Endotracheal intubations are critical in the resuscitation of the acutely ill and complications such as bradycardia and hypoxaemia have been reported [5-7]. Laryngoscopy is associated with a reflex sympathetic pressor response resulting in hypertension and arrhythmia [8-12]. During intubations, the haemodynamic responses are mostly short-lived and tolerated by healthy patients but can be detrimental in patients with cardiovascular diseases [13, 14]. Diverse views on the efficacy of intubating laryn

Effect of Carbohydrate-Enriched Drink Compared to Fasting on Hemodynamics in Healthy Volunteers. A Randomized Trial

“…Firstly, fasting prior to surgery can cause dehydration [33]. Intubation itself causes changes in HR, SBP, and DBP [34]. Moreover, the drugs used during general anaesthesia are cardiodepressants, and hypotension during induction is a common complication [35].…”

Comparing the Effectiveness and Safety of MedAn with the Nishikawa Blade and UE Videolaryngoscopes for Left-Sided Double-Lumen Endobronchial Tube Intubation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…The group allocation was hidden from all patients, perioperative follow-up assessors, and statisticians. Intubation was performed by one of the anesthetist-authors, who has performed over 1000 intubations, with 8 years of work experience [ 13 ]. The anesthesiologist used both manikins and patients to practice on until he felt competent with each type of video laryngoscope during intubation [ 14 ].…”
