A comparison of the Laryngopharyngeal Examination blade and the English Macintosh laryngoscope blade using an intubating manikin: a prospective randomized crossover study

Abstract

We conclude that, in a manikin, the new design blade can make nasogastric tube insertion easier when compared with the Macintosh blade and it can be used to facilitate laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Further studies are needed to evaluate its use in patients.
