Video‐laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in children (excluding neonates)
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
To assess the safety and efficacy of optical/video laryngoscopy compared to direct laryngoscopy when used for intubation in children, with regard to: intubation time; number of attempts at intubation; changes in oxygen saturation; and adverse effects, including abnormal haemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation.
