Simulation-based Randomized Paired Cross-over Comparison of Direct versus Video-assisted Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation by Inexperienced Operators
Purpose: Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the standard technique for endotracheal intubation. Video-assisted laryngoscopy (VL) has emerged as an alternative, particularly for difficult airway management. Nevertheless, DL and VL have not been systematically compared for simulation-based endotracheal intubation by inexperienced operators. Method: A prospective, randomized cross-over study was carried out
