The primary outcome was the success of intubation with the McGrath® MAC. Secondary outcomes included the ease of the McGrath® MAC insertion, best glottic view, ease of tracheal tube insertion, number of intubation attempts, evidence of airway trauma, quality of view, adjunct used, airway manoeuvres used, quality of image on monitor screen ...
