Video Laryngoscopy in Critically Ill Adults: Nascent, Evolving, or Established?

The article "Video Laryngoscopy in Critically Ill Adults: Nascent, Evolving, or Established?" discusses the use of video laryngoscopy in tracheal intubation procedures for critically ill patients. The study compared video laryngoscopy (VL) with direct laryngoscopy (DL) in critically ill adults and found that VL was associated with a higher rate of first pass success. However, the study also noted limitations in outcome reporting and emphasized the need for further research to fully demonstrate the superiority of VL over DL. The article highlights the importance of considering factors such as operator experience, patient outcomes, and the need for additional data to inform clinical practice in airway management.
