Comparison of the C-MAC®and GlideScope®videolaryngoscopes in patients with cervical spine disorders and immobilisation

Abstract: SummaryIn-line stabilisation of the neck can increase the difficulty of tracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy. We randomly assigned 56 patients with cervical spine pathology scheduled for elective surgery to tracheal intubation using either the C-MAC â (n = 26) or GlideScope â (n = 30), when the head and neck were stabilised in-line. There was no significant difference in the median (IQR [range]) intubation times between the C-MAC (19 (14-35 [9-90]) s and the GlideScope (23, (15-32 [8-65]) s. The first-… Show more

“…In this regard, video laryngoscopes were found to provide a great visualization of the glottis (10) and to improve endotracheal intubation success rates (24). The GlideScope video laryngoscope (Verathon) has been evaluated in manikin studies (19,20,25), the operating room (7,26,27), emergency departments (28), and ICUs (9,18). There is evidence that especially subjects at higher risk of a difficult airway benefit from GlideScope-assisted intubation (26,29,30).…”

“…The GlideScope video laryngoscope (Verathon) has been evaluated in manikin studies (19,20,25), the operating room (7,26,27), emergency departments (28), and ICUs (9,18). There is evidence that especially subjects at higher risk of a difficult airway benefit from GlideScope-assisted intubation (26,29,30). Unfortunately, randomized prehospital control trials evaluating the potential benefits of video laryngoscopy in the prehospital setting are still spare, and our results underscore that extrapolation of putative convincing manikin or in-hospital findings into the EMS world is difficult.…”

“…[3,4] In patients with a suspected neck trauma, cervical spine stabilization is indicated and furthermore complicates airway management. [57] Although controversially discussed, securing the airway using an endotracheal tube is still considered the optimal technique, although this technique requires high level of personal experience and skills.
