macintosh versus Mac Grath

Details and patient eligibility

About

In this comparative prospective study, we aim to compare the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the Mac Grath videolaryncoscope in ICU covid 19 patients recruiting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation.

patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomized in 2 groups: MacGrath and Macintosh.

we collected anthropometric and intubation data among all patients, and the 2 groups were compared regarding the time for intubation, the need of alternative techniques to intubate and the impact on the oxygenation by recording the lowest SPO2.

Full description

In this comparative prospective study, we aim to compare the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the Mac Grath videolaryncoscope in ICU covid 19 patients recruiting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation.

All hypoxemic COVID19 patients requiring intubation were enrolled in this trial.

all patients had a preoxygenation with non invasive ventilation with 100% oxygen.

patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomized in 2 groups: MacGrath and Macintosh.

we collected anthropometric and intubation data among all patients, and the 2 groups were compared regarding the time for intubation, the need of alternative techniques to intubate and the impact on the oxygenation by recording the lowest SPO2.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• All COVID 19 hypoxemic patients requiring tracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria
