Objectif : Évaluer un nouveau vidéolaryngoscope et tester sa capacité à fournir une exposition du larynx et à faciliter l’intubation.

Méthode : Cinq centres, impliquant 133 opérateurs et 728 patients consécutifs, ont participé à l’évaluation du nouveau vidéolaryngoscope [GlideScope® (GS)]. De nombreux opérateurs avaient une expérience nulle ou limitée du GS. Nous avons noté les données démographiques et les caractéristiques des voies aériennes, la classification Cormack-Lehane (C/L) des visualisations et la facilité à intuber avec le GS. Un échec était défini comme un abandon de la technique.

Résultats : Six patients ont été exclus à cause de données incomplètes. Une excellente (C/L 1) ou une bonne (C/L 2) exposition du larynx a été obtenue chez 92 % et 7 % des patients respectivement. Chez les 133 patients soumis aux deux tests avec le GS et à la laryngoscopie directe (LD), le GS a donné des résultats comparables ou une vue supérieure. Parmi les 35 patients avec un grade 3 ou 4 de C/L par LD, la visualisation s’est améliorée à 1 C/L chez 24 patients et à 2 C/L chez trois patients. L’intubation avec le GS a été réussie chez 96,3 % des patients. La majorité des échecs sont survenus malgré une bonne ou une excellente visualisation glottique.

Conclusion : La laryngoscopie avec le GS fournit toujours une vision glottique comparable ou supérieure à la LD malgré l’expérience nulle ou limitée avec l’appareil. L’intubation a été généralement réussie même lorsqu’on prévoyait une difficulté modérée ou importante de la LD. Le GS a été abandonné chez 3,7 % des patients. Cela pourrait correspondre au manque de protocole formel définissant l’échec, à l’expérience antérieure limitée ou à la difficulté de manipuler le tube endotrachéal tout en surveillant l’écran.
