Treatment and study plan

C-MAC laryngoscope

Device

Intubation performed using C-MAC laryngoscope

Other names: C-MAC

Macintosh laryngoscope

Device

Intubation performed using laryngoscope with Macintosh blade

Other names: C-MAC

Primary outcomes

  1. Time required for successful intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. success rate of intubation attempt

    Time frame: 1 day

    success rate of first, second and third intubation attempt

  2. cumulative success ratios related to time

    Time frame: 1 day

    cumulative success ratio was counted as percentage of successful intubations in time intervals in all scenarios

  3. Ease of intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

    To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).

  4. Cormack&Lehane grade

    Time frame: 1 day

    glottic view during intubation rate using Cormack&Lehane grade

  5. Dental Compression

    Time frame: 1 day

    the severity of the potential dental trauma was calculated based on previously described modified grading scale (Svoldelli, 2009)
