Abstract:
The ease of endotracheal intubation between the King Vision Video Laryngoscope (KVVL) and the Macintosh Laryngoscope (MAC-L) in 100 adult patients is of interest. Key outcomes assessed were hemodynamic changes, number of intubation attempts, procedure duration, and complications. Results indicated the KVVL had a higher first-attempt success rate (80% vs. 70% for MAC-L), required fewer attempts, and was associated with more stable hemodynamics. No major complications were observed with either device. The study concludes that the King Vision Video Laryngoscope offers advantages in ease of intubation, success rate, and hemodynamic stability over the Macintosh laryngoscope.
