The Efficacy of O-Mac®, Patent Video Laryngoscope, and Conventional Laryngoscope for Intubation in the Operating Room

BACKGROUND: Management of the airway in patients undergoing surgery is increasingly difficult. The management operating room terms initial action anesthesia very important. Video-laryngoscopy has been shown to provide a better view larynx’s structure compared direct visualization. AIM: We describe our experience using custom made and inexpensive tool for video-laryngoscopy. METHODS: This an experimental research with single randomized clinical trial conducted at Anesthesiology Department Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. There were 270 divides into three group conventional, O-Mac® Mc-GRATH™ BF laryngoscope, aged 18–65 years old, Mallampati grade 1–2, randomly selected, signed informed consent. RESULTS: Intubation time fastest median 26 (15–36) s, p = 0.000. Laryngoscopy 5.5 (2–13 s), does not use many tools, All did produce tissue damage results 0.007. Hemodynamic changes CONCLUSION: superior laryngoscope intubation blade same level safety as patented Mc-GRATH ™ video than conventional laryngoscopes.
