Multicenter Study Comparative StudyFirst-Pass Success of Intubations Using Video Versus Direct Laryngoscopy in Children With Limited Neck Mobility.
It is not clear whether video laryngoscopy (VL) is associated with a higher first-pass success rate in pediatric patients with limited neck mobility when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL). We sought to determine the association between the laryngoscopy method and first-pass success. ⋯ In children with limited neck mobility receiving tracheal intubation in the ED, neither VL nor DL was associated with a higher first-pass success rate.
