[McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope: clinical assessment of its performance in 50 surgical patients]
Background:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope in tracheal intubation of surgical patients.
Methods:
McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope was used for the tracheal intubation in 50 surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia. We compared the percentage of glottic opening score between McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope and Coopdech Videolaryngoscope Portable VLP-100 by anesthesia staffs and unexperienced anesthetic trainees. The number of intubation attempts and the time to complete intubation were also recorded.
Results:
In 49 of 50 surgical patients including 18 patients with potential difficult airways, successful intubation was performed with McGRATH MAC. Not only anesthesia staffs but also unexperienced anesthetic trainees could obtain better view of the glottis with McGRATH compared with Coopdech Videolaryngoscope Portable VLP-100.
Conclusions:
McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope facilitates tracheal intubation in surgical patients.
