Question 1: Does Video laryngoscope Increase the Success Rate of Tracheal Intubation?
With a video laryngoscope, because the image of the glottis is captured near the tip of the blade, only a few centimeters of line of sight will be required. In addition, an assistant can adjust the direction and degree of pressure on the neck by confirming the improvement of the view of the glottis on a video screen. Therefore, theoretically, a video laryngoscope would provide a better view of the glottis, and would increase the success rate of tracheal intubation.
Question 2: Are Video laryngoscopes Less Stressful and Less Traumatic?
Compared with a conventional laryngoscope, a video laryngoscope would be less stressful to the patient, because the video laryngoscope is less likely to require extension and flexion of the head and neck, pressure on the neck, and distortion of the upper airway.
Lauren C. Berkow, MD., Timothy E. Morey, MD., and Felipe Urdaneta, MD. concluded that the ideal intubation device would be safe, efficient, reliable, portable, affordable, cost-effective, usable in all age groups and in any location, and easy to teach and master compared to traditional direct laryngoscope methods. Video laryngoscope is a very recent invention in the quest to find alternatives and overcome the intrinsic limitations of the direct approach to laryngeal exposure and intubation. Video laryngoscope is considered a paradigm shift from conventional laryngoscopy and has changed how intubation is taught, learned, and even supervised. Video laryngoscope systems have been added to most major airway guidelines as a primary or alternate firstline approach to intubation as well as for use as a rescue device.
