McGrath Videolaryngoscopy for Nasotracheal Intubation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Nasotracheal Intubation
Interventions
Device: Macintosh laryngoscopy
Device: McGrath videolaryngoscopy
Registration Number
NCT02267759
Lead Sponsor
Ajou University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

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.
