About

Previous study showed that McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope is an alternative tool for double-lumen tube intubation. We have compared it with traditional Macintosh laryngoscopefor double-lumen tube intubation. In this study, we will investigate its role in double-lumen tube intubation by comparison with another videolarygoscope.
