Effectiveness of C-MAC Video-stylet Versus C-MAC D- Blade Video-laryngoscope for Tracheal Intubation

Alexandria University160 enrolled

Overview

Videolaryngoscopy provides a better laryngeal view and do not need airway alignment for tracheal intubation.

The C-MAC-VS can be connected easily to the same C- MAC monitor and Pocket Monitor without requiring any additional light source and camera. This device is great for cases with limited mouth opening, airway obstruction and difficult intubation. C-MAC-VS has no lumens so it's very easy to clean and it can accommodates a size ETT 6.0 and greater.
