Comparison of laryngoscopy and intubating conditions using kings vision laryngoscope and C-MAC video laryngoscope
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction and Aims Currently wide arrays of video laryngoscopes are available to facilitate laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in routine and difficult airway patients intensive care units ICU and emergency settings This study is undertaken to compare the efficacy of CMAC and King Vision video laryngoscope for easy laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in patients with no predictors of difficult airwayMaterials and Methods 60 adult patients undergoing elective surgery were randomly allocated into 2 groups for intubation using either King Vision laryngoscope KVL group or CMAC video laryngoscope CMAC group The parameters recorded were need for external laryngeal manipulation percentage of glottis opening POGO score Cormack Lehane grading number of attempts and time taken for successful endotracheal intubation and the airway morbidity Systolic diastolic mean blood pressure and heart rate were measured preoperatively and at 1 and 2 min following endotracheal intubation in both the groups The obtained data were analysed using chisquare test and Students ttest using SPSS softwareResults The use of Kings Vision laryngoscope or CMAC video laryngoscope did not differ significantly with respect to good laryngoscopy and intubating conditions But airway morbidity was significantly lower in the KVL group 10 when compared with the CMAC group 40 pConclusions The use of CMAC or KVL provided excellent laryngoscopy and intubating conditions except for the airway morbidity and haemodynamic stability which were better with the use of KVLKeywords Video laryngoscopes Endotracheal intubation Airway morbidity Haemodynamic changes

To study the effect of oral pregabalin as premedicant on post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing hysterectomy after spinal anaesthesia
Background and Aim: Post-operative pain is one of the main areas on which research is being under taken nowadays. This has led to the emergence of concept of preemptive analgesia to prevent post-operative pain by inhibit...
A randomized clinical comparative trial to study the efficacy of adding Clonidine or Dexamethasone to Bupivacaine(0.5%) in prolonging the duration of post operative analgesia with ultrasound guided TAP block in cesarean delivery
Introduction: With dramatic rise in the rate of cesarean deliveries in the last two decades, post-operative pain management of these patients has become a major medical challenge. We studied the efficacy of adding dexame...
Effect of dexmedetomidine infusion on stress induced blood glucose levels and intraoperative sevoflurane requirement

Pretreatment of magnesium sulphate accelerates neuromuscular block as compared to vecuronium priming – A randomized trial
Background: Action of non depolarising neuromuscular relaxants can be potentiated by small dose of priming. Priming reduces the time of onset of muscle relaxants by binding and occupying the choline receptors. Whereas ma...
