Comparative evaluation of first-attempt intubation success rate using direct laryngoscope with Macintosh blade and video laryngoscope during rapid sequence induction in patients undergoing emergency surgery: A prospective randomised controlled trial
This prospective, randomised, controlled study aimed to compare the first-attempt intubation success rate using direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade and a video laryngoscope during rapid sequence induction in patients undergoing emergency surgeries and observed that first-attempt intubation success rate was significantly higher in group video laryngoscope (86.8%) than in group direct laryngoscopy (63.2%). Therefore, video laryngoscopy offers an attractive alternative to conventional laryngoscopy while securing the airway in patients presenting for emergency surgery.
