McGrath Videolaryngoscopy for Nasotracheal Intubation

June 17, 2015 updated by: Jong Yeop Kim, Ajou University School of Medicine

A Comparison of McGrath Videolaryngoscopy and Macintosh Laryngoscopy for Routine Nasotracheal Intubation

McGrath videolaryngoscopy avoids the use of Magill forceps for nasotracheal intubation, thereby reducing intubation time and complications, especially in patients with a difficult airway. This study was performed to investigate whether McGrath videolaryngoscopy is superior to Macintosh laryngoscopy for routine nasotracheal intubation in expected normal airways, as judged by the time to intubation and ease of intubation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: McGrath
Nasotracheal intubation was performed with McGrath videolaryngoscopy
Device: Macintosh laryngoscopy
After the softened nasotracheal tube was inserted into the nares until its tip passed through the posterior nares, Macintosh laryngoscope was introduced into the mouth and the nasotracheal tube was advanced.
Active Comparator: Macintosh
Nasotracheal intubation was performed with Macintosh direct laryngoscopy
Device: McGrath videolaryngoscopy
After the softened nasotracheal tube was inserted into the nares until its tip passed through the posterior nares, McGrath videolaryngoscope was introduced into the mouth and the nasotracheal tube was advanced.
