The McGRATH® MAC videolaryngoscope (McG) is a new device for tracheal intubation. Its utility has been reported in both tracheal intubation in children and difficult tracheal intubation for adults. Initially, the blade introduced was for adult use only, but the one for children was also in the market. We examined the usefulness of the McG for tracheal intubation in 100 children.Tracheal intubation with the McG (blade # 2) was performed in 100 children who required tracheal intubation. The view of glottic opening was evaluated according to Cormack-Lehane classification. The time required for intubation was recorded.It was possible to perform tracheal intubation in all 100 cases including 10 children with predicted difficult intubation. There was no specific complication. The view of the glottis was good in all cases. Tracheal intubation was easily performed in 91 cases, and relatively easy in 9 cases.McG is useful in both routine and difficult airway management for children.
