Comparison of Video and Direct Laryngoscopy for Tracheal Intubation in Critically Ill Adults

A multicenter RCT compared video versus direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in critically ill adults. The study found that video laryngoscopy resulted in a significantly higher rate of successful intubation on the first attempt compared to direct laryngoscopy. Patients in the video laryngoscopy group had an 85% success rate, while the direct laryngoscopy group had a 71% success rate. The study highlighted the importance of selecting the appropriate device for tracheal intubation to enhance patient outcomes.
