Association between glottis screen location and intubation difficulty: a retrospective video laryngoscopy study
A higher screen location of the vocal cords after blade engagement is associated with reduced first-attempt intubation success. Assessing glottis location during video laryngoscopy intubation provides a quick method to anticipate intubation challenges.
