Use of Video Laryngoscopy Reduced Endotracheal Intubation Attempts
Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent surgical procedures, a cluster randomized trial showed. At a single academic hospital, more than one intubation attempt was required in 1.7% of the procedures in which video laryngoscopy was used […]
