Stylet Angle for McGrath Videolaryngoscopy

Completed

• Conditions: Intubation
• Interventions: Device: intubate with 60° angled stylet

• Registration Number: NCT03000088
• Lead Sponsor: Ajou University School of Medicine

Brief Summary

The McGrath videolaryngoscope (VL) provides excellent laryngoscopic views, but directing an endotracheal tube is not easy, so routine using of stylet is recommended. The goal of this study is to determine the appropriate angle of stylet by comparing time to intubation (TTI).
