A comparative study of laryngeal view and pressor response by using three different blades- Macintosh, miller and Mccoy laryngoscopes
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Maintenance of airway during anaesthesia is very important to anaesthesiologist A prospective randomized study was conducted in 90 patients ASAI II posted for various surgeries under general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation to evaluate differences in glottic view attempts and duration of laryngoscopy and intubation attempts along with hemodynamic variability associated with the three blades Macintosh McCoy and Miller laryngoscope blade Patients were randomly allocated in three groups In first group laryngoscopy was done with Macintosh blade in second group with Miller blade in third group with McCoy bladeIn this study it was found that McCoy laryngoscope is distinctly superior to the Macintosh and Miller with less hemodynamic changes and better glottic visualization Degree of difficulty in intubation was more with Miller blade in comparison to Macintosh and McCoy blade which is statistically significant p value 0Keywords Cormack lehane grade Macintosh blade McCoy blade Miller blade Degree of difficulty in intubation
