Beth Israel Medical Center117 enrolled

Overview

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.
