Abstract
Rigid indirect video laryngoscopes were designed to aid glottis visualisation in difficult airway. The
McGrath® MAC video laryngoscope was designed similarly for routine use. The unique design of
the blade makes it easy to use in patients with limited mouth opening and facilitates tracheal
intubation without use of stylet. It is compact and easy to assemble with preparation time less than
one minute making it a reasonable choice in cases of unanticipated difficult intubations. This case
series demonstrates its successful use as a rescue device in patients with difficult intubation. One
of the patient was intubated awake with the help of McGrath® MAC video laryngoscope thus
making it an attractive alternate for fibre optic bronchoscopy assisted tracheal intubation.
