McGrath Videolaryngoscopy for 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.

Treatment and study plan

McGrath videolaryngoscopy

Device

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.

Macintosh Laryngoscopy

Device

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.

Primary outcomes

time to intubation

Time frame: 4 min after anesthetic induction

time the nasotracheal tube was inserted into nares until endtidal CO2 was detected
