ISPUB.COM The Internet Journal of Anesthesiology Volume 32 Number 2 Comparison Of Glidescope® And Miller Blade Laryngoscopy With Respect To Pogo Scores In The Pediatric Airway E Abraham, K Henry, C Pierce, K Poteet-Schwartz Citation E Abraham, K Henry, C Pierce, K Poteet-Schwartz. Comparison Of Glidescope® And Miller Blade Laryngoscopy With Respect To Pogo Scores In The Pediatric Airway. The Internet Journal of Anesthesiology. 2013 Volume 32 Number 2. Abstract Introduction: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are crucial goals of airway management especially in pediatric patients. In pediatrics, it has generally been regarded that a straight blade (i.e., “Miller blade”) be implemented for laryngoscopy. However, the GlideScope® video laryngoscope is an airway tool that is often used as well. Research in adults has shown the GlideScope® confers equal or superior glottic views compared to curved blade. However, using curved blades in pediatrics has been shown to be less effective in the control of the epiglottis, which may result in poorer visualization of the glottic structures compared to its straight (i.e., “Miller”) blade counterpart. In an effort to begin to determine if the GlideScope® should be used as a modality, this research compared the percentage of glottic opening (POGO) scores between Miller blade and GlideScope® in children having endotracheal intubation. Methods: Observations were made on 50 pediatric patients (age = 6 months - 4 years) unde ...
