Macintosh and Glidescope® performance by Advanced Cardiac Life Support providers: a manikin study.

Abstract

This study demonstrated that the Glidescope® videolaryngoscopy performed at least as well as conventional laryngoscopy in ACLS providers. Although simpler ventilation techniques should be applied first during critical airway management, this study suggests that, when intubation is needed, videolaryngoscopy cna be helpful.
