Assessment of stress response due to C-Mac D-blade guided videolaryngoscopic endotracheal intubation and docking of da Vinci surgical robot using perfusion index in patients undergoing transoral robotic oncosurgery

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Prospective observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

As non-invasively quantified by PI, videolaryngoscopic stress response is more intense but shorter-lived versus that due to docking.

  • Laryngoscopy vs Docking: P = 0.0044 — at stressor; reported as perfusion index (PI) significantly higher at laryngoscopy
  • Laryngoscopy vs Docking: P < 0.0001 — at 10 min; PI lower post-laryngoscopy

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

PI displays a negative correlation with haemodynamic variables
PI at laryngoscopy is a good predictor of PI at docking
