Description
Devyani Desai, Riddhi Sompura, and Sudarshan Yadav published a randomized study in 2023 on patient position for placing breathing tubes with video scopes. A head-up tilt of twenty-five degrees is claimed to ease intubation. One hundred adults with normal airways were split between flat and tilted positions, using two video laryngoscope types, one channeled and one not.
Difficulty scores dropped clearly in the tilted position for both scopes. Fewer patients needed extra maneuvers, and intubation was faster with both devices. Vital signs and complications were also tracked. The authors conclude the back-up position eases tube placement with either scope design, supporting its routine use in normal airways.
