Not Applicable
Completed
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.
