A Comparison of McGrath, Pentax and Macintosh Laryngoscopes for Nasotracheal Intubation in Pediatrics

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Intubation Time; Intubation Difficulty Scale

• Registration Number: NCT02828631
• Lead Sponsor: Ajou University School of Medicine

Brief Summary

Videolaryngoscope provide better view of the larynx. This better view could improve the navigation of endotracheal tube in nasotracheal intubation. Contrast to the improved result in adult, one previous report using Glidescope in children did not show better performance than direct laryngoscope. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of McGrath, Pentax and Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation in children.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
time to intubation	2 min	Time from nasotracheal tube passing nose until confirmation of tracheal intubation by end-tidal carbon dioxide will be measured
