About

The study seeks to compare the efficacy of conventional direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade with the McGrath videolaryngoscope for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation.

Full description

The study aims to conduct a multicenter international trial to enroll a maximum of 800 consenting adults who fall under the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1-3 category and require elective non-cardiac surgery necessitating endotracheal intubation with rapid sequence induction for general anesthesia. The study seeks to compare the efficacy of conventional direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade with the McGrath videolaryngoscope for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation.
