Time from lips to stable glottis view, sec, median [IQR] | 10 [6.5–12] | 12 [8.5–15.5] | 0.036 |
Time from stable glottis view to ETT intubation, sec, median [IQR] | 7 [4.5–10] | 8 [6–9.5] | 0.31 |
Time from ETT intubation to removal of device, sec, median [IQR] | 1 [1–1] | 2 [1–2] | 0.0002 |
VAS score of ease of intubation, median [IQR] {0 = easy, 10 = difficult} | 2 [2–3] | 4[3–5] | 0.0007 |
1st attempt success (%) | 100 | 100 | |
POGO %, median [IQR] | 100 [100–100] | 10[10–25] | <0.0001 |
IQR = interquartile range; POGO = percentage of glottic opening; VAS = visual analogue scale
