“…Case reports have shown the successful application of the McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope in both expected and unanticipated difficult airways [9–11]. However, no systematic comparison exists between the McGrath and the Macintosh laryngoscope in the difficult airway.…”

SummaryUnanticipated difficulties during tracheal intubation and failure to intubate are among the leading causes of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Using the technique of video laryngoscopy, the alignment of the oral and pharyngeal axes to facilitate tracheal intubation is unnecessary. In this study we evaluated the McGrath Ò Series 5 videolaryngoscope for tracheal intubation in 61 patients who exhibited Cormack and Lehane grade 3 or 4 laryngoscopies with a Macintosh laryngoscope. Using the McGrath resulted in an improved glottic view, compared to Macintosh laryngoscope. Laryngoscopy was improved by one grade in 10%, by two grades in 80% and by three grades in 10% of cases (p < 0.0001). The success rate for intubation was 95% with the McGrath. These results suggest that the McGrath videolaryngoscope can be used with a high success rate to facilitate tracheal intubation in difficult intubation situations.

“…There is one reported case of a patient with an inter-incisor gap of 20 mm whose trachea was intubated using the McGrath series 5 and Frova airway introducer via the oral route. However the author had difficulties in advancing the bougie into the trachea and it required some manoeuvres [8]. In our patients, the nasal tube passed easily into the trachea on all three occasions.…”

Nasotracheal intubation with the McGrath videolaryngoscope in patients with limited mouth opening

et al. 2014

Limited mouth opening is an important contributing factor to difficult tracheal intubation. Existing guidelines recommend the use of awake techniques but they are often badly tolerated by patients who sometimes refuse consent. We present three patients with limited mouth opening but with no other criteria for difficult airway management and normal upper airway imaging, who refused awake techniques. They were managed with general anaesthesia and nasotracheal intubation using the McGrath series 5 videolaryngoscope.

“…What about patients with preexisting risk factors for difficulty? The evidence here is limited and comes primarily from case reports and retrospective analysis [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Prospective randomised controlled trials provide the most robust methodology to a research question.…”
