Use of the Airtraq laryngoscope for emergency intubation in the prehospital setting: A randomized control trial*

Abstract

Based on these results, the use of the Airtraq laryngoscope as a primary airway device cannot be recommended in the prehospital setting without significant clinical experience obtained in the operation room. We conclude that the clinical learning process of the Airtraq laryngoscope is much longer than reported in the anesthesia literature.
