Size 2 D-Blade of C-MAC video laryngoscope provided a better glottic view in children with simulated cervical spine injury as compared with CMAC Macintosh blade. Number of intubation attempts was similar in both the groups. There was no statistical difference in terms of time for best glottic view in group M and group D (13.40 ± 4.90 vs 13.62 ± 5.60 s) and endotracheal tube insertion time (24.80 ± 7.90 vs 27.90 ± 10.90 s), respectively. Insertion of D-Blade was more difficult than Macintosh blade ( P = 0.0007). The glottic view grade was significantly better in group D compared with the group M ( P = 0.0002). During second video laryngoscopy, difficulty of tube insertion and time for intubation were noted. Best glottic view, time for best glottic view, and difficulty in blade insertion were recorded during both the video laryngoscopies. Endotracheal intubation was done with the second laryngoscopy. After removal of the first blade, second video laryngoscopy was performed with the alternative blade.
MAC BLADE SIZES MANUAL
After induction of anesthesia, video laryngoscopy was performed either with size 2 CMAC Macintosh (group M) or D-Blade (group D) with manual in-line stabilization. Forty children of 4-14 years of age were enrolled in this study. This item may require 1-2 days to ship out from our facility. This randomized crossover study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital of Northern India. Our primary outcome was to compare glottic view, intubation time, and ease of intubation with the size 2 Macintosh versus D-Blade of C-MAC video laryngoscope in simulated cervical injury in children. They have a high color temperature which allows for the ideal conditions during intubation.Īll Propper Manufacturing Company blades and handles are green system compliant.CMAC video laryngoscope size 2 D-Blade has been recently introduced for management of pediatric difficult airway. Superlume® handles feature the brightest output of any current handle. They are available with xenon light bulbs or Superlume® LED light bulbs. Propper handles are available in 3 sizes, stubby, AA or C. Laryngoscope handles contain batteries and a light bulb. Compare this product Remove from comparison tool. The device is an ensemble of non magnetic stainless steel blades, conventional 2.5 V light bulb, 0 y 1 miller blades. Laryngoscope handles are available in a variety of sizes. The conventional light laryngoscope can be sterilized in an autoclave and reused. They are made of select quality 304 Stainless Steel and have flawless Ni/Cr plating. Propper Miller Blades are available in size 0 – 4. Propper Macintosh Blades are available in size 1 -5.

The integrated design allows for easy cleaning and sterilization using steam, EO or Sterrad (vH 2O 2). Propper reusable laryngoscope blades feature a large diameter integrated fiber optic bundle, which allows for increased light transmission. Fiber optic blades provide brighter light output than standard blades. Laryngoscope blades contain either a standard or fiber optic light source. Miller blades are the most commonly used straight blades. Macintosh blades are the most commonly used curved blades. There are two common shapes for laryngoscopes blades, curved and straight.

Laryngoscopes are made up of two parts, a blade and a handle. Laryngoscopes are used to facilitate tracheal intubation during general anesthesia or cardiopulmonary emergencies. Laryngoscopy is the endoscopy of the throat, which allows examination of the larynx using a laryngoscope.
