Severe bradycardia during suspension laryngoscopy performed after tracheal intubation using a direct laryngoscope with a curved blade -A case report- [PDF]
There are a few reports about bradycardia or asystole caused by direct laryngoscopy. However, we encountered severe bradycardia in response to suspension laryngoscopy for laryngeal polypectomy after safely completing tracheal intubation using a direct ...

Video Laryngoscopy versus Direct Laryngoscopy for Orotracheal Intubation in the Out-of-Hospital Environment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
To determine the effect of video and direct laryngoscopy on first-pass success rates for out-of-hospital orotracheal intubation. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to January 2023. Out-of-hospital studies comparing video

Direct versus video laryngoscopy with standard blades for neonatal and infant tracheal intubation with supplemental oxygen: a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation in neonates and infants is a potentially life-saving procedure. Video laryngoscopy has been found to improve first-attempt tracheal intubation success and reduce complications compared with direct laryngoscopy in ...
