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

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 outcomes

  1. 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

Secondary outcomes

  1. intubation difficulty scale

    Time frame: immediately after intubation

    Modified nasal intubation difficulty scale will be assessed : N1(intubation attempts), N2(operators to attempt intubation, N3(alternative intubation techniques or change head position), N4(glottic exposure), N5(lifting force required to expose the vocal cords), N6(optimise glottic exposure with backward, upward and right ward pressure), N7(techniques to aid intubation)
