Abstract
HUITRON MARTINEZ, Anaid; ATHIE GARCIA, José Manuel and MARTINEZ ROSETE, Vicente Adalberto. Intubation time between video-laryngoscopes: King Vision versus Vivid Trac. Comparative study. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.3, pp.131-135. Epub Sep 24, 2021. ISSN 1870-7203.
Objective:
To compare the intubation time between two video laryngoscopes (VLs) King Vision versus Vivid Trac, in the hands of a resident with no experience , in patients with normal airway.
Material and methods:
60 patients were evaluated. Group 1 with King Vision (n = 30) and Group 2 with Vivid Trac (n = 30). Previous approval of the Ethics Committee and informed consent. Success and intubation time were registered.
Results:
There was no significant difference in the rate of assessment of difficult airway. The success rate of intubation was 100%. The media Intubation time in seconds for the King Vision group was 16 ± 4.1 and 31 ± 15.41 for the Vivid Trac group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The King Vision provides superior intubation conditions in patients with normal airway. These VLs facilitate intubation reducing the incidence of failed intubation. In these new generations the ability to maneuver without displaying the target directly, facilitates the learning curve on these devices. The efficacy and safety of these could define the next gold standard for endotracheal intubation in cases of difficult and normal airway.
