Overview

Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators compare the effectiveness of two relatively new video laryngoscopes, McGrath MAC (Covidien, Dublin Ireland) and the King Vision (King Systems, Noblesville, IN), by practitioners experienced in airway management but with limited exposure to these two devices. Our hypothesis was that, the McGrath MAC device would require fewer intubation attempts and shorter intubation times than the King Vision when performed by novice users.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•All interested airway providers (Residents, Attendings, Certified Nurse Anesthetist and

Exclusion Criteria

•All patients with difficult airways as determined by history or physical exam (limited oral opening, limited cervical extension, receding chin, Mallampati class III or IV).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Intubation Success on First Attempt as Measured by End Tidal Carbon Dioxide

Time Frame: participants were followed up to the point the video device is removed from the airway, classified as under 90 seconds.

Secondary Outcomes

Time to Intubation(Intubation time was initiated at the time of entry of the study device beyond the teeth/gum line and the intubation time was stopped when the study device was removed beyond the same point.)
