BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the C-MAC videolaryngoscope for the tracheal intubation especially by novice personnel.
METHODS
Endotracheal intubation was performed using the C-MAC videolaryngoscope in 40 patients undergoing general anesthesia. We compared the percentage of glottic opening score between Macintosh laryngoscope and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope by anesthesia staff and novice personnel. The time to complete instrumentation and optimizing procedures were also recorded.
RESULTS
The C-MAC videolaryngoscope allowed visualization of the glottis and successful intubation in 39 patients. There was no difference in the time to intubation between anesthesia staff and novice personnel. Furthermore, there was significant difference in percentage of glottic opening score between Macintosh laryngoscope and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope in novice personnel, because of appropriate guidance by anesthesia staff.
CONCLUSIONS
The C-MAC videolaryngoscope is a useful device in education of endotracheal intubation by novice personnel.
