The McGrath® Series 5 videolaryngoscope vs the Macintosh laryngoscope: a randomised, controlled trial in patients with a simulated difficult airway

Summary We compared the McGrath® Series 5 videolaryngoscope with the Macintosh laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway, using manual in‐line stabilisation in 88 anaesthestised patients of ASA physical status 1‐2. The primary outcome was laryngoscopic view. Secondary outcomes included rates of s...

Summary:Summary We compared the McGrath® Series 5 videolaryngoscope with the Macintosh laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway, using manual in‐line stabilisation in 88 anaesthestised patients of ASA physical status 1‐2. The primary outcome was laryngoscopic view. Secondary outcomes included rates of successful tracheal intubation and complications. A Cormack and Lehane grade‐1 or ‐2 view was found in all patients when using the McGrath compared with 45 (51%, p
