      with direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation.

AB  - The aim of this study was to determine whether GlideScope video laryngoscope 
      (GVL) and intubating laryngeal mask airway (i-LMA) improve the intubation success 
      rate and could be easily learned and performed by paramedic students when 
      compared with the direct laryngoscopic (DL) method. The study was designed as a 
      prospective randomized crossover trial that included 121 paramedic students. All 
      participants were asked to intubate each Ambu Airway Management Trainer manikins 
      after the lecture and demonstration. Successful intubation was defined as the 
      passage of the tube through the vocal cord within 60 s. At the end of the study, 
      a questionnaire survey was given to all participants about their preferences, and 
      they were requested to define each method on an easy-difficult scale. Successful 
      intubation was achieved by 95 students (78.5%) with DL, 112 students (92.6%) with 
      i-LMA, and 111 students (91.7%) with GVL. Mean time of intubation was 25.06+/-14 s 
      for DL, 22.32+/-12 s for i-LMA, and 22.63+/-10 s for GVL. Success rates of i-LMA and 
      GVL were significantly higher compared with DL (P=0.005 and P=0.006, 
      respectively). No significant difference was determined between i-LMA and GVL in 
      terms of successful intubation (P>0.05). This study showed that GVL and i-LMA 
      provided better intubation success rates and were easier for paramedic students 
      when compared with the classic DL method.
