Summary

Videolaryngoscopes offer the potential to make tracheal intubation easier for the anaesthetist and less traumatic for the patient. This study aims to compare the intubation difficulty scores (a validated scoring system for ease of intubation) using the McGrath MAC as a videolaryngoscope, the McGrath MAC only as a direct laryngoscope (without video screen) and the MacIntosh laryngoscopes.

Conditions

  • Tracheal Intubation

Interventions

DEVICE
