Use of video rather than direct laryngoscope led to better rates of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency ...

Airway management is a core emergency medicine competency. Physicians are expected to be able to intubate both adult and pediatric patients safely with a minimum of adverse events. A new study ...

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 ...

Whether video laryngoscopy as compared with direct laryngoscopy increases the likelihood of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt among critically ill adults is uncertain. The trial was ...

When techniques that paramedics could improve upon are discussed, often, the topic of advanced airway comes up. We have statistically low success rates in achieving an advanced airway with an ...

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient’s life. However, ...

Intubation can be lifesaving, but it does come with the potential to cause complications. A sore throat is one of the most common side effects. Intubation is when an endotracheal tube is inserted into ...
