Aim: We aimed to compare Trueview EVO2 laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope in terms of hemodynamic response and intubation conditions for pediatric patients. 100 children aged between 1 month and 4 years were included in the study. Method: Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Intubation was performed via Macintosh laryngoscope in Group DL and via Trueview EVO2TM videolaryngoscope in Group VL. Results: Heart rates were similar between the two groups. Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures 1 minute after the intubation were significantly higher in Group VL. There was no significant difference between groups in terms of SpO2 levels, TD, airway demand, cricoid pressure or Cormack-Lehane scores. End-tidal CO2 levels were significantly higher in Group VL. Difficulty occurred while inserting the tube in 6 patients in Group VL but in none of the patients in Group DL. Intubation durations were higher in Group VL (17.81±1.31 sec) than in Group DL (17.00±1.20 sec). There were no statistically significant difference in terms of intubation related complications. Conclusion: In pediatric patients, better laryngeal visualization is acquired with Trueview videolaryngoscope but intubation duration prolongs and has no advantage on intubation success.
