We’ve spoken a lot recently about intubation First-Pass Success, including the definition. We’ve also discussed different papers about the impact the type of laryngoscope, video or direct, has on first-pass success. A new paper compares video vs. direct laryngoscopy directly. Join us to discuss the DEVICE trial. Citations: 1) Prekker ME, Driver BE, Trent SA, et al. Video versus Direct Laryngoscopy for Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults. N Engl J Med.
