Details and patient eligibility

About

We evaluate the GlideScope and lighted stylet for DLT intubation in terms of the intubation time, number of intubation attempts, difficulty in DLT advancement towards the glottis, postoperative sore throat and hoarseness, and hemodynamic responses during intubation in patients with predicted difficult airways.
