McGrath® MAC video laryngoscope (McG) has been used for orotracheal intubation\nin both normal patients and patients for whom intubation was expected\nto be difficult, and has been reported to provide improved visibility of\nthe glottis during tracheal intubation. There are some reports that normal nasotracheal\nintubation is easier with McG than with macintosh laryngoscope\n(ML). The usefulness of McG for nasotracheal intubation is beginning to be\nrecognised. We experienced three cases using McG in patients for whom intubation\nwas expected to be difficult due to the limited mouth opening and\nusing McG for those patients enabled smooth nasotracheal intubation. McG\nprovides good visual field during nasotracheal intubation, and is less invasive\nto the patient.
