Intubation of patients requiring cervical spine immobilization can be challenging. Recently, the use of C-MAC video laryngoscopes (VL) has increased in popularity over direct laryngoscopy (DL). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of C-MAC VL as compared with DL for intubation in C-spine immobilized patients.

Simulation offers the opportunity to train healthcare professionals in complex scenarios, such as those with as traumatized patients. We conducted an observational cross-sectional research simulating trauma with cervical immobilization. We compared five techniques/devices: direct laryngoscopy (DL), videolaryngoscopy (VLS, Glidescope or McGrath), combined laryngo-bronchoscopy intubation (CLBI) and articulating video stylet (ProVu).

Abstarct: BACKGROUND: The optimal positioned double-lumen endotracheal tubes (DLT) is crucial in thoracic surgery requiring lung isolation. This study aims to compare the accuracy and complication rates of DLT placement using videolaryngoscopy (VL) versus conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL).

Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 89 patients who underwent thoracic surgery with DLT placement between July 2023 and May 2024.

Intubation in patients living with obesity poses unique challenges due to altered airway anatomy and reduced physiological reserve, increasing the risk of complications. In synthesizing evidence from multiple trials, our meta-analysis suggests that videolaryngoscopy may provide a higher likelihood of achieving successful intubation on the first attempt compared to direct laryngoscopy while not substantially increasing the procedure time. Videolaryngoscopy was associated with a significant increase in first-pass intubation success compared to direct laryngoscopy, with a pooled risk ratio (RR) of 0.

Introduction: The number of tracheal intubation attempts required to reach proficiency in videolaryngoscopy with hyperangulated blades is unknown. Understanding this training requirement might guide training for clinicians who perform laryngoscopy. We therefore performed a planned sub-analysis of a randomised controlled trial comparing tracheal intubation success with videolaryngoscopy vs.
