Brief summary
KoMAC videolaryngoscope is a portable intubating device with an angulated single-use blade of adjustable size and a liquid crystal display monitor mounted on top of the handle, which is similar in shape to the McGrath videolaryngoscope. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the KoMAC videolaryngoscope for double-lumen intubation regarding intubation time, laryngeal view and ease of intubation, compared to Macintosh laryngoscope.
