Ramathibodi mobile Video laryngoscope (RAMA-mVL) thus was invented for having effectiveness equivalent to the current device and lower price.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective:</strong> To determine the effectiveness of intubation by comparing between RAMA-mVL and McGrath<sup>®</sup>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods:</strong> This study conducted a randomized, single-blinded study in manikin comparing RAMA-mVL and McGrath<sup>®</sup>. Medical personnel with intubation experiences were included and will be trained in 2 devices before performing the procedures. Intubation success rate, time to intubation, satisfaction, and the cost between both VLs were compared.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 208 persons were enrolled in the research, 104 in each group. The first pass succession rate for intubation by using both VLs is 100%. Time to intubation using RAMA-mVL was significantly less than that of McGrath<sup>®</sup> (mean [SD], 9.12 [4.28] and 11.19 [5.04] seconds, respectively; <em>P = </em>.002). The 5-point Likert scale in satisfaction rate on the easy to build in RAMA-mVL and McGrath<sup>®</sup> were mean (SD) of 4.88 (0.32) and 4.23 (0.96) points respectively (95% CI, 0.46 - 0.85; <em>P <</em> .001). Additionally, the cost of RAMA-mVL was cheaper than McGrath<sup>®</sup>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The first pass intubation success rate in a manikin of RAMA-mVL is equivalent to McGrath<sup>®</sup>. The cost of RAMA-mVL is cheaper.</p> <p> </p>}, number={4}, journal={Ramathibodi Medical Journal}, author={Tangkulpanich, Panvilai and Athinartrattanapong, Natsinee and Ussawapitanon, Porawin and Chalermdamrichai, Phanorn and Tuangsirisup, Jarupol}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={13–20} }
