Abstract
Background: In the context of general surgical operations, patient safety and procedure success are directly tied to the effectiveness of endotracheal intubation equipment. The comparative effectiveness of these devices in actual clinical situations is essential, notwithstanding the many technical breakthroughs that have been made. Objective: The purpose of this research was to compare the performance of three different intubation devices— the Besdata, the Ambu aScope, and the Macintosh Laryngoscope—in adult patients undergoing general surgical procedures. Methods: Between 2019 and 2022, researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College of AMU in Aligarh's Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care gathered data. Ninety patients were recruited, ranging in age from 20 to 70 years and in weight from 40 to 70 kg. After getting participants' consent, they were split into three groups at random. The Ambu aScope was used to intubate patients in Group A, the Besdata was used in Group B, and the Macintosh laryngoscope was used in Group M. Age, gender, height, and weight were recorded, as well as the participant's Mallampati status. Results: There was universal success with intubation using all three devices. Average intubation times were found to be quickest using the Ambu aScope, then the Besdata, and finally the Macintosh Laryngoscope. The incidence of postoperative sore throat was lowest in patients intubated using the Macintosh Laryngoscope and greatest in those intubated with the Besdata. Ambu aScope had the best percentage of success on the first attempt. There were no statistically significant variations between patients in terms of demographic information or Mallampati grade. Conclusion: While each of the three tools was useful, it also had its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is important to consider the patient's anatomy, the clinician's level of expertise, and the clinical setting before settling on an intubation device.
