Completed

• Conditions: Adverse Effects of Endotracheal Intubation
• Interventions: Device: Macintosh Laryngoscope Vs Video Laryngoscope

• Registration Number: NCT05795231
• Lead Sponsor: Alexandria University

Brief Summary

The study will involve all adult patients visiting the Alexandria University main hospitals' Emergency department for reasons other than trauma that will require assisted ventilation via endotracheal intubation. Those pre-intubated or intubated post CPR will not be included.
