We read with interest the article by Karsli et al. [1], which demonstrated the usefulness of the paediatric GlideScope® video laryngoscope (Verathon Medical Inc., Bothell, WA, USA) in children with a difficult airway, relative to conventional direct laryngoscopy using the Macintosh blade. We agree with the authors' view that the BURP manoeuvre (backward, upward and right-sided pressure on the larynx) provides better glottic exposure using the paediatric GlideScope. Overall, the paediatric GlideScope, with or without the BURP manoeuvre, provided a better glottic view than the Macintosh laryngoscope in the same study [1]. However, in 6 of their 18 children, the paediatric GlideScope without the BURP manoeuvre provided a view of the glottis that was equal to or worse than that by the Macintosh laryngoscope without the BURP manoeuvre (Cormack-Lehane grade 3 and 4).

机译：我们对Karsli等人的兴趣阅读了兴趣。 [1]，这证明了儿科Glidescope＆Reg的有用性; Video Laryncope（Verathon Medical Inc.，Bothell，Wa，USA）在带有困难的气道的儿童中，相对于使用Macintosh刀片的常规直接喉镜检查。 我们同意作者的观点，即Burp机动（喉部上的向后，向上和右侧压力）使用儿科格里多普普提供更好的喇叭暴露。 总的来说，儿科格里德普普斯，有或没有Burp机动，提供比同一研究中的Macintosh Laryngoscope更好的喇叭视图[1]。 然而，在他们的18名儿童中的6个孩子中，没有Burp机动的儿科Glidescope提供了比Macintosh喉镜没有Burp机动（Cormack-Lehane级3和4）等于或更差的光泽的视图。
