Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Orotracheal Intubation
Interventions
Device: McGrath videolaryngoscope with Intubating stylet (Mallinckrodt)
Device: McGrath videolaryngoscope
Registration Number
NCT02642367
Lead Sponsor
Ajou University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

The routine use of a styletted endotracheal tube during videolaryngoscopy is advocated by some manufacturers, but styletted endotracheal tube can elicit rare but potentially serious complications. We compared the intubation time and success rate whether or not use of stylet for endotracheal intubation with McGrath videolaryngoscope.
