| Abstract | Introduction: The Airtraq is a new intubation device that has been developed to facilitate tracheal intubation in patients with normal or difficult airway. The available paediatric sizes are 0, 1 and 2 and are of grey, purple, green colour. These can insert endotracheal tube of size 2.0-3.5/4-5.5/6-7.5, respectively. Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Airtraq laryngoscope in comparison with Macintosh by experienced Anaesthesiologist for intubation in paediatric patients. Materials and Methods: The randomised controlled trial was conducted at Sarojini Naidu Medical College, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, from December 2015 to August 2017. Fifty healthy children, aged 2-10 years of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grades I/II, presenting for elective surgery were randomly allocated in two equal groups. Endotracheal intubation was done either using Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscope. Duration of intubation (primary variable), number of attempts, ease of intubation, oesophageal intubation, optimisation maneuvers, Percentage Of Glottic Opening (POGO) scoring and haemodynamic parameters were compared between two groups. Patients' demographic data, intubation time, haemodynamic variables were analysed by Unpaired t-test. While number of attempts for intubation, ease of intubation, optimisation maneuvers and POGO scoring were analysed by Fisher's-exact test. Data was presented as mean±SD with categorical data presented as frequency (n) and percentages (%). The p-value of <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: There was no difference in demographic variables and duration of surgery between two groups. Intubation time, which was taken as primary variable, was found to be significantly longer in Macintosh (56.28±6.02 sec) as compared to Airtraq (25.60±3.73 sec) with p-value <0.0001. In terms of ease of intubation and POGO scoring, Airtraq was better as compared to Macintosh. Haemodynamically, Airtraq was found to be better as compared to Macintosh reflected by postintubation heart rate which was 110±7.84 beats/min with Airtraq while 119.32±10.61 beats/min with Macintosh (p-value=0.0028). The two groups were statistically comparable in terms of number of attempts, optimisation maneuvers and mean blood pressure changes. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Airtraq is a reliable and promising alternative to Macintosh for endotracheal intubation in paediatric patients as seen by duration of intubation, better laryngeal view, ease of intubation and haemodynamic changes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
