Intubation is essential in anesthesia for patient safety, requiring accurate techniques for difficult airways. Achieving first-attempt success is crucial. This study evaluates traditional laryngoscopes, such as the Macintosh, versus advanced tools like the TAS Scope.
This observational study, conducted from April to August 2023 at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, involved 60 patients aged 18-65. The two groups of Macintosh laryngoscope and TAS Scope 30 each are based on airway difficulty predictors and patient characteristics.
The TAS Scope group had a higher first-attempt success rate and easier intubation experiences according to Likert scale ratings.
The study underscores the benefits of using advanced devices like the TAS Scope for difficult airway management, showing higher success rates and ease of use. These findings support the adoption of new technologies to enhance patient safety and intubation effectiveness.
在麻醉中，气管插管对于患者安全至关重要，对于困难气道需要准确的技术。首次尝试成功至关重要。本研究评估了传统喉镜，如麦金托什喉镜，与先进工具如TAS喉镜的效果。
这项观察性研究于2023年4月至8月在萨维塔医学院和医院进行，纳入了60名年龄在18至65岁之间的患者。根据气道困难预测指标和患者特征，将两组各30名患者分别使用麦金托什喉镜和TAS喉镜。
根据李克特量表评分，TAS喉镜组的首次尝试成功率更高，插管体验更轻松。
该研究强调了使用TAS喉镜等先进设备进行困难气道管理的益处，显示出更高的成功率和易用性。这些发现支持采用新技术以提高患者安全性和插管效果。
