Comparison of Routine Endotracheal Intubation With McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope

Recently many kinds of indirect videolaryngoscopes were developed. These videolaryngoscopes provide easier intubation, help intubation difficulty, are used good tool for education. McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope are kinds of these videolaryngoscopes.

The purpose of this study is to compare of routine endotracheal intubation with McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope by means of providing better laryngeal view, easier and faster intubation.
