Safety and Efficacy of Endotracheal Intubation Using Glidescope Video-Laryngoscope
- Conditions
- Respiratory Failure
- Interventions
- Device: Video laryngoscopy (Glidescope)Procedure: Direct laryngoscopy
- Registration Number
- NCT01683526
- Lead Sponsor
- Beth Israel Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The safety and efficacy of a video-laryngoscope as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of critically-ill patients has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a VL will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.
