Introduction:
Video laryngoscopy-assisted tracheal intubation devices have become alternatives to traditional laryngoscopes in recent years. This review will provide information on commonly used video laryngoscopes and their clinical applications in airway management.
Areas Covered:
In this review, the differences between video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy, and the utilization of video laryngoscopes in specific clinical settings are discussed.
Expert Commentary:
Video laryngoscopy should be embraced as an initial approach to intubation in patients with suspected difficult airway. Acute care providers should be familiar with more than one intubation techniques so that a rescue attempt can be applied promptly. Continual practice and familiarity with new video laryngoscopes are still essential to maximize the effectiveness and minimize the complications of using these devices.
