McGRATH MAC Video Laryngoscope

"The McGRATH® MAC enhanced direct laryngoscope (EDL) combines the familiarity of direct laryngoscopy with an inline video camera for an enhanced view.~All 100 patients will be intubated using the McGRATH® MAC video laryngoscope, either through direct or indirect vision laryngoscopy. The LCD monitor of the McGRATH™ MAC was initially covered; if the anesthesiologist visualized a modified C-L grade 1-3 view, the patient was intubated utilizing this direct view. If the anesthesiologist observed a modified C-L grade 4 view during their initial direct view, the patient was intubated using the indirect method. If intubation via direct laryngoscopy was unsuccessful on the first attempt, the patient was intubated using the indirect view. If both methods of laryngoscopy were unsuccessful, the rescue intubation technique was performed at the discretion of the anesthesiologist."
