“…Khan et al . tested the use of Truview PCD videolaryngoscope in the intubation of a child with cleft lip and palate and protruding premaxilla. However, these techniques require expensive equipment, expert use, and special training in opposite to our novel technique (gum shield intubation) that is cheap, available, and easily used by any anesthetist with no need for special training.…”

Background:TruviewPCD laryngoscope is specially designed to aid positioning of the endotracheal tube as well as to record entry of the tube into glottis. Aim of the study is to compare the view of glottic opening and ease of intubation between TruviewPCD laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope in patients undergoing general anesthesia (GA).Methodology:Two hundred patients undergoing elective surgery, under GA were randomized into two groups, Group TV and Group ML. In Group TV, TrueviewPCD laryngoscope was used initially to visualize the vocal cords for Cormack and Lehane grading (CLG) and to spray the vocal cords with 10% lignocaine. Then the patient was ventilated for 1 min and Macintosh laryngoscope was used to visualize the vocal cords for CLG and proceed with intubation. In Group ML, Macintosh laryngoscope was used initially and later TruviewPCD laryngoscope. Time to intubation, CLG, number of attempts and hemodynamic parameters were recorded.Results:Ninety-six and 89 patients had CLG1 visualization when TruviewPCD laryngoscope was used as 1st and 2nd device respectively compared to 41 and 68 with Macintosh laryngoscope (P = 0.00). Four patients had CLG 4 visualization with Macintosh laryngoscope that turned out to be grade II visualization with TruviewPCD laryngoscope (P = 0.00). Mean time taken for intubation with TruviewPCD and Macintosh laryngoscope was 21.10 ± 5.64 s and 15.79 ± 2.76 s respectively (P = 0.00).Conclusion:Better visualization with lesser CLG was found with TruviewPCD laryngoscope but it took longer time for intubation than Macintosh laryngoscope. The hemodynamic response to intubation was significantly less with the use of TruviewPCD laryngoscope when compared to that of Macintosh laryngoscope.

“…Two case reports have supported the use of the TruView PCD in children with difficult airways [54,55]. In both cases, one aged 7 months and the other an 8day-old premature infant, tracheal intubation was achieved where conventional laryngoscopy with straight and curved blades had failed.…”

Videolaryngoscopes in Paediatric Anaesthesia

The use of videolaryngoscopy is an ever expanding and developing branch of both routine and advanced airway management. An array of 'tried and tested' videolaryngoscopes is increasingly being used routinely in adults. However, due to the anatomical differences between adults and children, the proposed benefits are not readily transferrable without supporting evidence. With an increase in paediatric-sized equipment, the last 10 years has seen a rise in the number of relevant clinical investigations in the use of videolaryngoscopes for paediatric airway management. This narrative review focuses on videolaryngoscopes currently available for paediatric patients. The supporting literature is analyzed for their clinical use and effectiveness.
