Video laryngoscopy is associated with improved first‐pass intubation success compared with direct laryngoscopy in emergency department trauma patients

Abstract

Video laryngoscopy, compared with direct laryngoscopy, was associated with higher odds of first-pass intubation success among a sample of ED trauma patients. Frequency of a hypoxic event during intubation and time to successful intubation was not significantly different between the 2 intubation methods.
