Videolaryngoscopy: should it replace direct laryngoscopy? a pro-con debate
Although it is universally recognized that the advent of videolaryngoscopy has revolutionized airway management, there is considerable disagreement over the future role of direct laryngoscopy and whether direct laryngoscopy should be relegated to a ...

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients in hospital: A systematic literature review [PDF]
Aims: Airway management during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may involve endotracheal intubation complicated by associated difficulties. Videolaryngoscopy may help to ease these difficulties and increase success rates by removing the need to achieve a ...

Predicting Difficult Tracheal Intubation in Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Osteoradionecrosis: Development of the ORN-Difficult-Airway-Score [PDF]
Background: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) following head and neck radiotherapy has been demonstrated to induce structural and functional alterations of the upper airway, with the potential to complicate the process of tracheal intubation. Despite its clinical
