McGrath Videolaryngoscopy for Nasotracheal Intubation

Ajou University School of Medicine

Status: Completed

Conditions: Nasotracheal Intubation

Treatments: Device: McGrath videolaryngoscopy; Device: Macintosh laryngoscopy

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02267759

AJIRB-DEV-DE1-14-312

Details and patient eligibility

About

McGrath videolaryngoscopy avoids the use of Magill forceps for nasotracheal intubation, thereby reducing intubation time and complications, especially in patients with a difficult airway. This study was performed to investigate whether McGrath videolaryngoscopy is superior to Macintosh laryngoscopy for routine nasotracheal intubation in expected normal airways, as judged by the time to intubation and ease of intubation.
