Comparison of the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope, the Pentax Airwayscope, and the McGrath MAC video laryngoscope under restricted cervical motion: a manikin study.
We compared the utility of the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope, the Pentax Airway Scope, and the McGrath MAC video laryngoscope under restricted cervical motion using a manikin. ⋯ In the present study, the Airway Scope was the best among the three devices. However, the differences between the Airway Scope and the McGrath MAC video laryngoscope may not be serious in a clinical situation. Data were gathered using a manikin, and further studies will be necessary.
