Comparison of cervical spine motion during intubation with a C ‑MAC D‑Blade® and an LMA Fastrach®.
CONCLUSION: Intubation with both a C‑MAC D‑Blade and a Fastrach LMA resulted in cervical motion but within safe ranges. Intubation with a C-mac D blade might be preferred because the Fastrach LMA may result in more failed intubation attempts in patients with cervical spine disorders.
