Introduction:

When you have a critical patient or a surgery requiring invasive monitoring like A-Lines, CVPs and swans it can be frustrating to manage them all. More often than not we either tape to the pillow or use a costly c-clamp on the IV pole.

Introduction:

The NEW McGrath Mac, distributed by covidien is a revolutionary leap forward in portable video laryngoscope technology. I have spent a few months in total utilizing this device as well as the last 3 weeks doing every intubation with it to get a feel for how well, or not, it performs.
