[Assessment of the practice of endotracheal intubation by levering Laryngoscope in teaching of undergraduate medical students].
Twenty-nine inexperienced medical students tried to intubate endotracheal tubes using both levering laryngoscope (McCoy laryngoscope) and Macintosh laryngoscope in adult mannikin the Cormack and Lehane Grade 2. The number of successful intubations by McCoy type was close to those by Macintosh type. Improvement in time necessary from insertion of the laryngoscope to confirmation of placement of the endotracheal tube McCoy type was also close to that by Macintosh type. But the grade of handling difficulty of McCoy type was significantly higher than that of Macintosh type, because Macintosh type was simpler to handle than McCoy type. It was suggested that Macintosh laryngoscope was more useful than McCoy laryngoscope for teaching of inexperienced medical students.
