Comparison of the emergency effect between visual laryngoscopee and traditional laryngoscope / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and advantage of visual laryngoscope in the treatment of patients with sudden cardiac arrest who need spontaneous respiration tracheal intubation.Methods:Totally 60 patients who suffered from cardiac arrest and needed spontaneous respiration tracheal intubation were enrolled from June 2020 to February 2021 in the Affilicated Hospital of Chifeng University. Theywere randomlydivided into two groups-traditional laryngoscope (TL) group and visual laryngoscope (VL) group, with30 patients in each group. Then the success rate of glottis exposure, the operative time, success rate and complication rate of tracheal intubation were compared between the two groups. Subgroup assessment between the junior emergency resident doctor (A group) and the senior emergency resident doctor (B group) was conducted.Results:According to Cormack Lehan grades, the success rate of glottis exposure in VL group was higher than that in TL group ( P>0.05), and the success rate of Grade I in VL group was significant higer than that in TL group 56.70%(17/30) vs. 30.00%(9/30), P<0.05. The trial times of successful intubation cases and the operative time of successful intubation cases were significantly less than those in TL group (1.30 vs 1.67, P = 0.049) and (56.37 s vs 67.12 s, P<0.05). In the subgroup, the one-time success rate of tracheal intubation in A-TL group was significantly lower than that in B-TL group (4/15 vs. 11/15, P<0.05), while the one-time success rate of tracheal intubation in A-VL group was 60.00%, which is lower than that in B-VL group ( P>0.05). The operative time consumed for successful intubation in A-TL group was significantly longer than that in B-TL group 78.00 s vs. 55.57 s, P<0.05, while the operative time in A-VL group was a little longer than that in B-VL group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Visual laryngoscope used in spontaneous respiration tracheal intubation can not only increase the success rate of glottis exposure, decrease trial times and shorten operative time of intubation, but also improve the success rate and decrease the complication rate of emergency tracheal intubation.
