Endotracheal tube-mounted camera-assisted intubation versus conventional intubation in intensive care: a prospective randomised trial (VivaITN)

摘要

BackgroundFor critically ill patients, effective airway management with a high first-attempt success rate for endotracheal intubation is essential to prevent hypoxic complications during securing of the airway. Video guidance may improve first-attempt success rate over direct laryngoscopy (DL).
