Summary
This study was designed to determine the first attempt success rate of tracheal intubation with the McGRATH™ MAC laryngoscope using direct visualization in patients with known difficult airways, as well as exploring the possibility of identifying a particular direct Cormack-Lehane (C-L) grade view where indirect (video) visualization can be most beneficial during laryngoscopy and intubation.
