Safety and Efficacy of Endotracheal Intubation by Pulmonary Critical Care Physicians in Critically-Ill Patients Using Glidescope Video-Laryngoscope
The safety and efficacy of a video-laryngoscope as a primary intubation tool in urgent
endotracheal intubation of critically-ill patients has not been well-described in the
literature. This study will answer whether using a VL will impact on the efficacy and safety
of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients undergoing urgent endotracheal intubation by a pulmonary critical care
medicine physician
Exclusion Criteria:
- Difficult airway
- Oxygen saturation < 92% despite adequate mask ventilation
