“…I have also described a similar case before. 6 Those cases showed that a view achieved with different videolaryngoscopes could differ significantly and the laryngoscopic view achieved with the C-MAC could be better than the one achieved with other videolaryngoscopes.…”

The C-MAC videolaryngoscope was evaluated for intubation in patients with predicted extremely difficult airway. The presented cases are patients with neoplasm tumors in larynx. In all cases, awake intubation using C-MAC videolaryngoscope was performed in patients breathing spontaneously, under local anaesthesia, with oxygen administered via nasal catheter. All intubations were successful and uneventful. The pre-surgery examination (CT scans and fiberscope laryngeal examination) was compared with view of larynx obtained during laryngoscopy. Based on my experience, I assume that C-MAC videolaryngoscope is a very useful tool for anaesthesiologists and can be applied not only for unexpected difficult intubation but also for predicted difficult airway. Moreover, it could be used as an additional diagnosis tool before larynx surgery. The view obtained with the C-MAC videlaryngoscope corresponds with larynx examination performed before surgery, and could potentially reveal more details.

“…Therefore, we believe that our study carries some useful data and may give some clues in the case of emergency intubation in a prone position (e.g., unexpected extubation in patients having lumbar spine surgery or for elective use of videolaryngoscopes in awake videolaryngoscopy-assisted intubation in prone or sitting positions [ 36 ]). Studies comparing different videolaryngoscopes in patients with difficult intubation have confirmed that there are important differences in the performance of various different devices [ 37 ]. Van Zundert noted in his review that airway management in patients placed in non-supine positions requires experience and training of such techniques [ 9 ].…”

Background: Intubation of a patient in different positions may be done not only in emergency settings, but also in routine anesthesia (e.g., prone position for lumbar spine surgery). Methods: The aim of the study was to compare the classic Macintosh blade laryngoscope with two videolaryngoscopes: the Pentax-AWS and the Intubrite in a simulated scenario of a manikin placed in a sitting and prone position. Additionally, intubation with the use of all three devices was performed in a standard supine position as the control group. The time of intubation and the pressure exerted on the tongue was assessed. The ANOVA Friedman (analysis of variance) and Wilcoxon with Bonferroni correction tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The time of intubation in a prone position was significantly shorter for the Pentax-AWS videolaryngoscope compared to the Macintosh and the Intubrite. There were no significant differences in the obtained results of the evaluated devices in sitting and standard positions. The lowest pressure exerted on the tongue was with the Pentax-AWS, followed by the Intubrite and the Macintosh laryngoscopes. Conclusions: The use of the Pentax-AWS was associated with faster tracheal intubation, creating lower pressure on tongue when compared with standard Macintosh and Intubrite laryngoscopes in both prone and sitting positions.

“…Linton et al proposed in their algorithm of anaesthesia management of patients with pressure ulcers in prone position endotracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopes as more safe and effective [8]. Videolaryngoscopes proved to be useful in case of difficult situations like emergency reintubation [9], however, they differ in construction and therefore can provide different effectiveness of intubation [10]. In case of failed direct laryngoscopy as rescue device videolaryngoscopes with extra-curved blade are preferred [11].…”
