“…The secretary revealed group allocation when a participant was anaesthetised and ready for intubation. Figure shows the three laryngoscopes – nasal Airtraq™ (Prodol Medic, Biscay, Spain), C‐MAC ® system (Karl Storz Endoskope, Tuttlingen, Germany) and GlideScope ® (Verathon Medical Europe, Ijsselstein, Netherlands) – as well as the standard Magill forceps and its modification according to Boedeker (Karl Storz Endoskope, Tuttlingen, Germany) .…”

Nasotracheal intubation with three indirect laryngoscopes assisted by standard or modified Magill forceps

We assessed the effect of modifying standard Magill forceps on the laryngeal introduction of an Eschmann stylet during nasotracheal intubations with three indirect laryngoscopes (Airtraq™, C-MAC(®) or GlideScope(®)) in patients with predicted difficult intubation. We allocated 50 participants to each laryngoscope. The stylet was advanced by one forceps followed by the other (standard or modified), with each sequence allocated to 25/50 for each laryngoscope. There were no differences in rates of failed tracheal intubation with the allocated laryngoscopes: 6/50, 5/50 and 5/50, respectively. An Eschmann stylet was advanced into the trachea less often with the standard forceps (65% vs 93%, p < 0.0001). Mean (SD) time for stylet advancement was longer with the standard forceps, 38 (30) vs 19 (19) s, p < 0.0001. In conclusion, the modified Magill forceps facilitated nasotracheal intubation, independent of the type of indirect laryngoscope.

“…In a previous study, we found that the standard Magill forceps could not advance a tube in 50% of cases during indirect laryngoscopy (for difficult nasotracheal intubation) . A modified forceps that follows the curve of an indirect laryngoscope might be more effective in cases of difficult intubation .…”

“…An important reason that Magill forceps are not employed with GS-assisted placement of nasotracheal tubes is that the design of the forceps is optimized for use with DL. Boedeker has developed a curved forceps design optimized for videolaryngoscopy [100]; the curve of these forceps "allows both the tip of the forceps and the glottic opening to be simultaneously visible in the field of view during videolaryngoscopy" making them suitable for both nasotracheal tube positioning as well as for the removal of glottic foreign bodies. [101] have described how the GS might be used to assist in the conversion from a nasotracheal tube to an orotracheal tube in a patient with a known difficult airway.…”

The GlideScope video laryngoscope has had a profound impact on clinical airway management by virtue of providing a glottic view superior to direct laryngoscopy. Since its introduction circa 2003, hundreds of studies have attested to its value in making clinical airway management easier and safer. This review will update the reader on the art and science of using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope in a variety of clinical settings and its relation to other airway management products. Topics covered include GlideScope design considerations, general usage tips, use in obese patients, use in pediatric patients, use as an adjunct to fiberoptic intubation, and other matters. Complications associated with the GlideScope are also discussed.

“…There have been previous modifications to the Magill forceps to aid its use in foreign body removal and oral intubation of a difficult airway. (3,4) Liberman modified the forceps to allow grasping of the nasotracheal tube in an anteroposterior fashion as opposed to side by side, allowing a firmer grasp and easier downward manipulation. (5) Our modification's purpose is similar to Liberman's modification with an added +45°bend at the distal tip.…”
