Use of the McGRATH™ MAC: To view or not to view?

The McGRATH™ MAC is a versatile laryngoscope that allows both direct and indirect (video) laryngoscopy to be performed, simultaneously if needed, with a favorable chance of successful intubation during the first attempt. VAL with the McGRATH™ MAC exhibited an enhanced glottic view and served as a successful rescue airway device during inadequate glottic visualization and/or unsuccessful tracheal intubation, after failing with the same device when direct laryngoscopy was performed.
