Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[A Randomized Control Study Comparing the Effects of Tracheal Intubation Performed either via the McGRATH® MAC or the Macintosh Laryngoscope].
The McGRATH® MAC (McGRATH) laryngoscope is a newly developed video device, which enables us to perform tracheal intubation minimally invasive. The aim of this study is to evaluate and com- pare the hemodynamic changes triggered by intuba- tion using either the McGRATH or the Macintosh laryngoscope. ⋯ The McGRATH laryngoscope is less invasive for hemodynamic parameters than the Macin- tosh laryngoscope. These findings suggest that the McGRATH laryngoscope may enable us to perform tracheal intubation less invasively.
