Efficacy and adverse events profile of videolaryngoscopy in critically ill patients: subanalysis of the INTUBE study
Primary result · First-pass intubation successResult — go to the resultOR for first-pass intubation success 1.40 95% CI 1.05–1.87Authors' conclusion
In critically ill patients, videolaryngoscopy was associated with higher first-pass intubation success rates, despite being used in a population at higher risk of difficult airway management. Videolaryngoscopy was not associated with overall risk of major adverse events.
