Okumura Y, et al. - Researchers assessed 40 neonates to determine the utility of Airway Scope (AWS) as compared to Macintosh Laryngoscope (ML) in terms of intubation time (IT) and the frequency of airway complication events in infants with cleft lip and palate (CLP). They defined the duration between manual manipulation using a cross finger for maximum mouth opening and the first raising motion of the chest following intubation by artificial ventilation as “IT”. They observed a mean IT of 31.5 ± 8.3 s in AWS group and 26.4 ± 8.9 s in ML group. The IT of AWS group was recognized statistically linked to extensive clefts. Airway complications were discovered more in the ML group suggesting a preference to AWS for intubation of newborns with CLP due to a lower rate of airway complications.
