The clinical assessment of Glidescope in orotracheal intubation under general anesthesia.

Abstract

The orotracheal intubation using a GlideScope had advantages of easy and simple operation, excellent laryngeal view, and the ability to provide an improved laryngeal view in the patients with a difficult laryngoscopy. The general anesthesia of clinical standard depth was able to suppress the pressor response, but not temporary tachycardiac response to the orotracheal intubation using a GlideScope.
