McGrath MAC is a lightweight laryngoscope with a disposable blade. It remains to be proven if it performs as efficiently as the reusable videolaryngoscopes like C-MAC and whether it has an advantage over standard Macintosh laryngoscope in predicted normal airways.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We recruited 180 adult patients and randomly divided them into three groups for intubation with either Macintosh laryngoscope (Group-A), C-MAC (Group-B), and McGrath (Group-C). The primary objective was to compare the first attempt success rate. Secondary objectives included Cormack-Lehane (CL) grades, laryngoscopy time, intubation time, ease of intubation, need for optimization manoeuver, and the number of passes to place the endotracheal tube.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The two videolaryngoscopes provided a superior first attempt success rate as compared to Macintosh laryngoscope (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.027).

Laryngoscopy time was 9.9 \u00b1 2.5 s, 12.6 \u00b1 0.8 s, and 13.1 \u00b1 0.8 s for groups A, B, and C, respectively (B vs C;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001).

preferred over McGrath for intubation in adult patients with normal airways.<\/jats:p>\n
