Introduction: Paramedics often encounter patients with difficult airways requiring emergent airway management.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare intubation utilizing the Airtraq with direct laryngoscopy (DL) in the manikin model. We evaluated the number of attempts, the time to successful intubation, and the Airtraq's learning curve.
