“…91 In a recent randomized study the Intubating LMA airway (ILMA TM ) was compared with the LMA CTrach TM , a modification allowing real-time visualization of the glottic opening during intubation (both LMA North America, San Diego, CA, USA), and the total intubation time was shorter in the ILMA group than in the LMA CTrach group. 92 In this study, the LMA CTrach also required more manipulation to achieve a glottic view and ventilation. Taken together, the ILMA performed better in this evaluation.…”

“…The differences in the results between the two devices may be due to different shape, structure, and method of intubation. Arslan ZI et al [5] Ydemann M et al [10] compared Glidescope and ILMA (Fastrach) for intubation of patients suffering from morbid obesity and concluded that ILMA group showed that intubation time was 61 s, 84% of participants (n=42) were intubated in the 1st attempt, 5 patients (10%) could not be intubated in the second attempt and no desaturation occurred.…”

Objective: In this study, our objective was to compare the Cormack and Lehane (C-L) sight scores of direct laryngoscopy in endotracheal intubation with the endoscopic sight scores of the LMA CTrach and video laryngoscope. We also compared the success of endoscopy with the LMA CTrach and video laryngoscopy, intubation time, and its effects on haemodynamic and stress responses. Methods:The study included 100 patients, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores I-III and aged 18-65, who will undergo elective surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group C and Group V. The patients in both groups underwent direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh laryngoscope, and their C-L scores were recorded. In Group C, the patients were intubated with the LMA CTrach, and in Group V, the patients were intubated with a video laryngoscope. Patients' haemodynamic parameters, oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbondioxide, and endoscopic sight scores were recorded. Results:The demographic characteristics and the ASA classifications of the groups were similar. When endoscopic sight scores were compared with C-L, better sight was obtained in the LMA CTrach group; no significant difference was detected in Group V. Regarding the success of the intubation, no significant difference was detected between groups. However, when intubation times were compared, there was a significant difference between groups. The intubation time was longer in Group C. There was no difference between groups in terms of the percentage changes of haemodynamic parameters, oxygen saturation, and end-tidal carbondioxide values of the patients. Conclusion:In this study, when endoscopic sight scores were compared, better visualization was obtained in the LMA CTrach group. Therefore, in cases where intubation is difficult to apply in patients, the LMA CTrach can be an alternative application.Key Words: LMA CTrach, video laryngoscope, endoscopic sight scores, endotracheal intubation Abstract Introduction
