Overcoming airway challenges with the C-MAC^® video laryngoscope in a child with Goldenhar syndrome

Comparison of intubation conditions with CMAC Miller videolaryngoscope and conventional Miller laryngoscope in lateral position in infants: A prospective randomized trial

“…The sample size was calculated on the basis of results of the pilot study done on 10 infants using sample size calculator. The mean (SD) of time to intubation in Miller group was 33 seconds and in CMAC as 27 seconds in lateral position. Therefore, to detect a difference of 6 seconds, with level of significance at 5%, we required the sample size of 27 patients at 80% power.…”

“…The mean (SD) of time to intubation in Miller group was 33 seconds and in CMAC as 27 seconds in lateral position. Therefore, to detect a difference of 6 seconds, with level of significance at 5%, we required the sample size of 27 patients at 80% power. Although this difference might not be of clinical significance in supine position, but we assumed an approximately 20% difference clinically relevant in lateral position owing to the positional difficulty in performing tracheal intubation in lateral position and poor oxygen reserve in the study population.…”

“…Although there are a few studies and case reports demonstrating the usefulness of CMAC VL in pediatric population, its use for endotracheal intubation in lateral position has not been studied so far. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the usefulness of CMAC VL with the conventional Miller blade for endotracheal intubations in lateral position in infants.…”

Airway management in Goldenhar syndrome: See it big, Keep it simple!!

“…C-MAC video laryngoscope has also been used for these patients. [ 3 ] Although the use of video laryngoscope and fibreoptic intubation has been described, it can be difficult and is associated with high failure rates. [ 4 ] Computer-generated virtual imaging of the airway can generate video output similar to the views obtained from a fibrescope and may be useful in these cases.…”
