Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope in tracheal intubation of surgical patients.
Methods: McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope was used for the tracheal intubation in 50 surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia. We compared the percentage of glottic opening score between McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope and Coopdech Videolaryngoscope Portable VLP-100 by anesthesia staffs and unexperienced anesthetic trainees. The number of intubation attempts and the time to complete intubation were also recorded.
Results: In 49 of 50 surgical patients including 18 patients with potential difficult airways, successful intubation was performed with McGRATH MAC. Not only anesthesia staffs but also unexperienced anesthetic trainees could obtain better view of the glottis with McGRATH compared with Coopdech Videolaryngoscope Portable VLP-100.
Conclusions: McGRATH MAC Videolaryngoscope facilitates tracheal intubation in surgical patients.

Background: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a life-saving procedure that must be accurately carried on to guard against complications. Presbyopia leads to difficulty in viewing close objects and may obstacle proper intubation even with the best hands.
Purpose: This study supposed that the use of video-laryngoscope (VL) may provide better intubation conditions for presbyopic anesthetists and targets to evaluate the neonates and infants' intubation success rates (ISR) by anesthetists aged ≥ 45 years using the C-MAC VL compared to the standard laryngoscope (SL).

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine if the McGrath video laryngoscope, used as the first option for tracheal intubation, improves ease of intubation and reduces complications compared to the traditional Macintosh laryngoscope.
- It's conducted as a multicenter trial involving 35 anesthesiologists across several hospitals, tracking outcomes before and after implementation of the video laryngoscope.
- The study has ethical approval, requires informed consent from participants, and intends to publish its findings in a peer-reviewed journal and present at scientific conferences.

Aims: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and utility of the McGrath™ videolaryngoscope, using the Macintosh-like McGrath™ MAC blade and the hyperangulated McGrath™ MAC Xblade with a conventional Macintosh blade under simulated resuscitation conditions.
Methods: A prospective, randomized study under conditions mimicking ongoing chest compressions was conducted with 90 anesthesiologists. Intubation success rates, time-to-vocal cords, time-to-intubate, and time-to-ventilate were measured.

Background: The VIDIAC score, a prospectively developed universal classification for videolaryngoscopy, has shown excellent diagnostic performance in adults. However, there is no reliable classification system for videolaryngoscopic tracheal intubation in children. We aimed to develop and validate a multivariable logistic regression model and easy-to-use score to classify difficult videolaryngoscopic tracheal intubation in children and to compare it with the Cormack and Lehane classification.
