Outcomes for Pre- versus Post- Implementation of Video Laryngoscopy with structured coaching and post-procedure debriefing

Outcome Pre-Implementation of VL (N=284) Post-Implementation of VL (N=296) P-value Absolute Difference
Overall TIAEs 25 (9%) 16 (5%) 0.11 −3%, CI95: −8% to 1%
Technical TIAEs 18 (6%) 10 (3%) 0.1 −3%, CI95 −6% to 1%
Severe TIAEs 7 (2%) 5 (2%) 0.51 −1%, CI95 −3% to 2%
Oxygen Desaturations 38 (13%) 37 (13%) 0.75 1%, CI95 −6% to 5%
First attempt successes 206 (73%) 226 (76%) 0.29 4%, CI95 −3% to 11%

VL denotes video laryngoscopy

TIAE denotes tracheal intubation associated events

Technical TIAE includes: mainstem intubation, esophageal intubation, airway trauma, dental or lip trauma, and laryngospasm

Severe TIAE includes: cardiac arrest, esophageal intubation with delayed recognition, emesis with witnessed aspiration, hypotension requiring intervention, laryngospasm, malignant hyperthermia, pneumothorax/pneumomediastinum, or direct airway injury

Oxygen desaturation is defined as <80% for those TIs with initial oxygen saturation >90%

The detailed definitions are described in the methods
