Laryngoscopic techniques modulate anaesthesiologists' perception of halitosis in patients: A randomised controlled trialBACKGROUND Perception of halitosis in patients during intubation is a common and additional stressor for anaesthesiologists and may lead to potential health risks. OBJECTIVES We hypothesised that intubation with videolaryngoscopy could help reduce the anaesthesiologists' perception of patients' oral malodor during intubation. DESIGN Randomised, single-blinded, prospective, controlled...
