No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Difficult intubation is associated with a worse outcome in intensive care unit (ICU). New videolaryngoscope devices are proposed to improve airway management in ICU patients. We aimed to compare a new videolaryngoscope called " McGrath Mac Video Laryngoscope" vs standard Macintosh Laryngoscope in critically ill patients on difficult intubation and/or Cormack 3-4 rates in a prospective interventional study.The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the implementation of a quality-improvement process for airway management using a new videolaryngoscope would be associated with a decreased incidence of difficult intubation and/or Cormack 3-4.
