Cardiovascular response and backward, upward, right push maneuver during laryngoscopy: comparison between CMAC^® video laryngoscopy and conventional Macintosh

Abstract

ABSTRAK ABSTRACTBackground: Increased blood pressure and heart rate are the most frequent response to laryngoscopy which sometimes causes serious complications. Laryngoscopy technique and tools modification lessen the nociceptive stimulation, thus preventing hemodynamic response. BURP maneuver is used to lower Cormack-Lehane level, but it can cause additional pain stimulation during laryngoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular response and the need of BURP maneuver during laryngoscopy between CMAC ® and conventional Macintosh.
