A comparison of McGrath video laryngoscope versus macintosh laryngoscope for intubation undergoing general anesthesia: a meta-analysis
Our study indicates that the McGrath videolaryngoscope provides superior glottic visualization compared to the Macintosh laryngoscope. Nevertheless, there are no statistically significant differences between the two laryngoscopes regarding first-attempt tracheal intubation success rates and intubation times.
