MACMAN RCT SHOWS VL NO BETTER THAN DL!
McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope for orotracheal intubation in intensive care patients
MACMAN#LIVES2016— Jamie Strachan (@strachanjamie) October 3, 2016
MACMAN
So could Mcgrath increase first pass from 65% to 80% over Mac?
Power calc suggested 370 pts needed based on that#LIVES2016— Jamie Strachan (@strachanjamie) October 3, 2016
Result of MACMAN is…
NO DIFFERENCE!
70% first pass in both#LIVES2016— Jamie Strachan (@strachanjamie) October 3, 2016
I use something to get round corner w McGrath but French guidelines don’t use bougies apparently. Is this why no diff in MACMAN? #LIVES2016

Interesting in MACMAN – McGrath just exchanged 1 problem for another (swapped poor view with Mac for difficulty getting tube in)#LIVES2016

Some discussion that non-experts using devices in MACAMAN but for me it has to be used by non experts (trained of course) #LIVES2016
