Comparison of the standard McCoy laryngoscope and video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope for laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with simulated difficult airway.

Key Points

• To compare the effectiveness of the standard McCoy laryngoscope and the video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope for intubation in patients with difficult airways.
• Conducted a simulation of difficult airway scenarios
• Compared glottic visualisation between standard and video-assisted laryngoscopes
• Video-assisted McCoy laryngoscope showed significantly better glottic visualisation compared to standard version
