Overview
Brief Summary
The safety and efficacy of a laryngoscopy as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a Vie Scope laryngoscope will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.
Detailed Description
Intubation will be carried out in full personal protective equipment conditions of the operator
