- Abstract
Novices were defined as anaesthetic residents who had done a minimum of five oral intubations using the MAC blade and five oral intubations using the C-MAC C-blade and less than five nasal intubations with either device. Patients with an anticipated difficult airway, previously documented difficult intubation or previous head and neck surgery were excluded because the intubation was to be performed by a novice. Introduction The Macintosh laryngoscope (MAC) is the most commonly used device for directly visualising the structures of the larynx and facilitating tracheal intubation.[[1]] Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) improve the visualisation of the glottis and the rate of successful oral intubation[[2]] and are useful aids in teaching the laryngoscopy technique to novices.
