A randomized crossover trial comparing the C-MAC and Macintosh laryngoscopes for face-to-face intubation in a manikin

Face-to-face (FTF) intubation technique is usually performed in EMS when patient is found in a position that makes the performance of standard intubation difficult, such as when a patient is trapped in a seated position in a car [5] . [...]we decided to examine the efficacy of intubation face-to-face with the use videolaryngoscope Storz C-MAC with Macintosh blade 3 [C-MAC] (Karl Storz GmbH&Co KG, Tuttlingen, Germany) and standard Macintosh laryngoscope [MAC] with blade 3 (gold-standard; HEINE Optotechnik, Munch, Germany). [...]in this manikin trial, the C-MAC laryngoscope appeared more useful than the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope under simulated condition.
