Study Overview
Brief Summary
Videolaryngoscopy provides a better laryngeal view and do not need airway alignment for tracheal intubation.
Detailed Description
The C-MAC-VS can be connected easily to the same C- MAC monitor and Pocket Monitor without requiring any additional light source and camera. This device is great for cases with limited mouth opening, airway obstruction and difficult intubation. C-MAC-VS has no lumens so it's very easy to clean and it can accommodates a size ETT 6.0 and greater.
