Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
GlideScope versus C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope for double-lumen tube intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airways: A multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
Videolaryngoscopes are widely used to visualize difficult airways. Our aim was to compare the GlideScope and C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscopes for double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation in patients with difficult airways. ⋯ In patients with difficult airways, the GlideScope and C-MAC D-blade provided a similar success rate on the first DLT intubation attempt; however, the C-MAC D-blade offers a better glottic view, easier and faster intubation, and lower incidence of sore throat.

Comparative StudyComparison of first-pass intubation success rates between two different videolaryngoscopes in an Australian prehospital and retrieval medicine service.
To determine the effectiveness of the GlideScope Go videolaryngoscope (VL) in tracheal intubation in an Australian physician-staffed critical care prehospital and retrieval medicine service. ⋯ We demonstrated that first-pass success rates with the GlideScope Go are at least as good as our service had achieved with both the McGrath Mac and with direct laryngoscopy.

Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of McGRATH®MAC videolaryngoscope blade 1 for tracheal intubation in small children: a randomized controlled clinical study.
Videolaryngoscopes may not be as effective in small children as they are in older children and in adults. The size 1 blade is commercially available for the McGRATH®MAC videolaryngoscope (Covidien, Medtronic, Tokyo, Japan), but its efficacy in comparison with a Macintosh laryngoscope blade 1 is not known. ⋯ jRCT1032220366.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A multicentre randomised controlled trial of the McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope versus conventional laryngoscopy.
Before completion of this study, there was insufficient evidence demonstrating the superiority of videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy for elective tracheal intubation. We hypothesised that using videolaryngoscopy for routine tracheal intubation would result in higher first-pass tracheal intubation success compared with direct laryngoscopy. In this multicentre randomised trial, 2092 adult patients without predicted difficult airway requiring tracheal intubation for elective surgery were allocated randomly to either videolaryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade (McGrath™) or direct laryngoscopy. ⋯ Cormack and Lehane grade ≥ 3 was observed more frequently with direct laryngoscopy (84/1039, 8%) compared with McGrath (8/1053, 0.7%; p < 0.001) No significant difference in tracheal intubation-associated adverse events was observed between groups. This study demonstrates that using McGrath videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy improves first-pass tracheal intubation success in patients having elective surgery. Practitioners may consider using this device as first choice for tracheal intubation.
