McGrath Mac Video laryngoscopy is a very useful device in the management of difficult airway. Since the blade is of much familiar MacIntosh type, learning to use McGrath Mac Video laryngoscopy is easier. This device has been experimented both in experienced anaesthesia providers and in novices, in terms of first attempt success rate of tracheal intubation, ease of visualisation of glottis and intubation. In our clinical research, we studied how well the anaesthesia residents can use the McGrath Mac Video laryngoscope in patients with predictors of difficult airway. The Mean±SD time to laryngoscopy 22.34±4.87 seconds in Macintosh group Vs 38.83±4.96 seconds in McGrath group, whereas for intubation 29.1±6.47 seconds in Macintosh group Vs 57.97±9.54 seconds in McGrath group. We concluded that the time to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation is statistically longer with McGrath Mac Video laryngoscopy as compared to Macintosh direct laryngoscopy. The occurrence of sore throat and airway injury is less with McGrath Mac Video laryngoscopy.
