PURPOSE: The McGrath video laryngoscope (VL) offers excellent laryngoscopic views and increases the success rate of orotracheal intubation in @entity1 with normal and difficult airways. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the @entity19012 with the Macintosh laryngoscope to investigate the efficacy of the @entity19012 for routine nasotracheal intubation in @entity1 with an expected normal airway. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To address the research purpose, the efficacy of the @entity19012 for routine nasotracheal intubation was compared with that of the Macintosh laryngoscope. The predictor variable was the laryngoscopic technique ( @entity19012 vs Macintosh laryngoscope). The outcome variables were the time to successful intubation, laryngoscopic views before and after optimal external laryngeal manipulation (OELM), use of Magill forceps, ease of intubation, and severity of @entity548 . RESULTS: Data from 35 @entity1 undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery were assessed. The time to intubation was 10.5  seconds shorter in the McGrath group than in the Macintosh group (34.4    13.7 vs 44.9    15.6  seconds; P  = .004). The incidence of grade 1 glottic view before OELM was higher in the McGrath group than in the Macintosh group (83 vs 57%; P  = .019). The frequency of Magill forceps use was lower in the McGrath group than in the Macintosh group (6 vs 34%; P  = .003). CONCLUSION: @entity19012 facilitates routine nasotracheal intubation in expected normal airways by providing a shorter intubation time and better laryngoscopic views compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope.
