Comparison of Macintosh Laryngoscopy in Bed-up-Head–Elevated Position With GlideScope Laryngoscopy: A Randomized, Controlled, Noninferiority Trial

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Approximately half of all difficult tracheal intubations (DTIs) are unanticipated; hence, proper positioning during intubation is critical to increase the likelihood of success. The bed-up-head–elevated (BUHE) intubation position has been shown to improve laryngeal view, reduce airway complications, and prolong safe apneic time during intubation. In this study, we sought to determine whether the BUHE intubation position is noninferior to Glidescope (GLSC)-assisted intubation with regard… Show more

“…37 Recommendations: Based on the clinical characteristics and expert experience and opinion, we recommend head-elevated positioning before intubation to optimise intubation conditions. 38,39 We recommend videolaryngoscopy over direct laryngoscopy. In case of difficulty, a second-generation supraglottic airway should be available.…”

“…The 10 included studies comprised 18 371 intubations across 4 countries (USA, South Korea, Wales, Malaysia). Settings varied across studies, with one prehospital,17 two ED,15 19 four operating room (OR),32–35 one intensive care unit (ICU)23 and one other (non-ED, non-ICU) in-hospital settings 14. Intubations were performed by anaesthesiology residents, anaesthesiology attendings or nurse anaesthetists in six studies,14 32–36 and by paramedics, EM residents, critical care fellows or EM attendings in the other studies.…”

“…8 This proposed position led to a position called bed-up-head-elevated, which has been proposed as the standard intubation position for all patients. 9 A similar position with the head and neck raised, the 'head-elevated laryngoscopy position' (HELP), is specified by an anatomical marker-an imaginary horizontal line should connect the patient's sternal notch with the external auditory meatus. 10 The HELP has been proven to be a better position for intubation in obese [11][12][13][14] and lean patients.…”
