A comparison of the Truview PCD and the GlideScope Cobalt AVL video‐laryngoscopes to the Miller blade for successfully intubating manikins simulating normal and difficult pediatric airways

Abstract

Higher success rates and shorter intubation times with the Miller blade compared to either video-laryngoscope may reflect greater experience with direct laryngoscopy, need for more video-laryngoscopy training, or result from the manikin design. Individual practitioners may differ in their preference of device for intubating a child with anticipated difficult airway based on their previous experiences, self-assessment of their skills, and evaluation of the child's airway anatomy.
