- Title
Intubation aids in hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy: essential components more than just adjuncts.
- Authors
Cafferkey, J.; Ward, P. A.
- Abstract
The article discusses a study comparing different airway adjuncts for tracheal intubation using hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy in patients with predicted difficulty. The authors raise several important points regarding the study's findings. They suggest that the bougies and stylets used should have conformed to the same blade shape for a fair comparison. They also question the applicability of the Cormack and Lehane grading system to videolaryngoscopy and recommend an incremental exposure technique. Additionally, they highlight the importance of considering the practitioners' experience and training with hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy and emphasize that the findings may not apply to all models of bougies. Overall, the authors provide valuable insights and recommendations for future research in this area.
