Summary
Brief summary
Complications related to infant (= 1 year) airway management are under-appreciated because of
few rigorous and targeted studies. Investigators have recently shown that multiple tracheal
intubation (TI) attempts are a key risk factor for intubation-related complications in small
children. Tracheal Intubation using Video laryngoscopy (VL) has become popular in
anesthesiology practice because of several advantages over conventional direct laryngoscopy
(DL). Studies show that VL improves the view of the airway compared to DL, requires fewer
intubation attempts, but may take more time to intubate the trachea. This study compares
first attempt success of VL to DL in infants presenting for elective surgery.
