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

January 8, 2019 updated by: yun jeong chae, Ajou University School of Medicine
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
time to intubation
Time Frame: 2 min
Time from nasotracheal tube passing nose until confirmation of tracheal intubation by end-tidal carbon dioxide will be measured
