A Comparative Study of Video Laryngoscopy to Direct Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation in Pediatric Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Direct laryngoscopy is the standard method for intubation in pediatric patients. The introduction of video laryngoscopy brought a paradigm shift in managing pediatric airways. Objectives: We compared the tracheal intubation technique between direct and video laryngoscopy with McIntosh Blade 2 in pediatric patients 2 - 8 years of age requiring airway management. The glottic view and the first pass success rate were compared and analyzed. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 120 children between 2 - 8 years with normal airways. They were divided into video laryngoscopy (Group V) and direct laryngoscopy (Group D). The primary outcome measures included time taken for intubation, number of attempts required, Cormack-Lehane glottic view, use of optimization maneuvers, the requirement of tube repositioning, and hemodynamic parameters before and after intubation. Results: The time taken for intubation was longer in the video laryngoscopy group (group D, 24.28 sec vs. group V, 27.65 seconds (P = 0.01). The Cormack-Lehane glottic view was grade 1 in all the patients in the video laryngoscopy group, while only 35 children showed grade 1 in the direct laryngoscopy group. (P < 0.001). We observed a significant increase in both heart rate and mean arterial pressure in the video laryngoscopy group at 1, 3, 5, and 10 min after intubation (P < 0.001, P < 0.05). Conclusions: The time taken for intubation was more in group V, but the glottic view was much better, and the requirement for external maneuvers was also less. Pressure response to intubation was more in group V compared to group D.
