McGrath MAC Videolaryngoscope Versus Optiscope Video Stylet for Tracheal Intubation in Patients With Manual Inline Cervical Stabilization: A Randomized Trial

Abstract

The McGrath MAC videolaryngoscope showed a higher first-attempt success rate for tracheal intubation and a shorter intubation time than the Optiscope video stylet in cervical spine patients with manual inline stabilization during tracheal intubation. These results suggest that the McGrath MAC videolaryngoscope may be a better option for tracheal intubation in such patients.
