Abstract
- We studied 40 anaesthetised and paralysed patients, in a randomised manner, to compare the ease of tracheal intubation either using a Macintosh laryngoscope and gum elastic bougie (group C) with the ease of tracheal intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask using a fibreoptic bronchoscope (group L), during manual in-line stabilisation of the patient's head and neck. In both groups, a maximum of 120 s was allowed for attempts at tracheal intubation. The ease of placement of the intubating laryngeal mask or tracheal intubation was assessed using a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). In patients in whom tracheal intubation succeeded, time for intubation was measured. The intubating laryngeal mask was placed successfully in 19 of 20 patients, with the median VAS of 18 mm (95% CI: 13–32 mm). The success rate of tracheal intubation in group L (17 patients) was significantly higher than in group C (nine patients) (p
