Supraglottic airway devices for blind endotracheal intubation: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The effectiveness of supraglottic airway devices (SGDs) as a strategy for blind endotracheal intubation (ETI) was compared in this study.

Methods

A systematic review of clinical trials (CTs) involving SGDs for blind ETI in patients under general anesthesia or simulation manikins, was conducted. CTs that used SGDs for fiberoptic-guided ETI and those conducted in children were excluded. Searches were performed in Embase, MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and LILACS. The primary outcomes examined were the success rate of blind ETI and intubation time. Secondary outcomes were first-attempt intubation success rate and perceived ease of use.

Results

A total of 567 records were identified from databases, and 16 were identified through citation searches. Ultimately, 27 C
