Standard clinical risk factors for difficult laryngoscopy are not independent predictors of intubation success with the GlideScope.

Abstract

With GlideScope-assisted tracheal intubation, Mallampati airway class is not an independent risk factor for difficult intubation.

Other standard clinical risk factors of difficulty with direct laryngoscopy also do not appear to be individually predictive of first-attempt success of tracheal intubation.
