Table 3.
First attempt success, adverse tracheal intubation associated events, intubation attempts, and severe oxygen desaturation in tracheal intubations with video vs. direct laryngoscope.
| Outcome | Videolaryngoscope (n = 628) | Direct laryngoscope (n = 2102) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| First attempt success, n (%) | 367 (58.4) | 995 (47.4) | <0.001 |
| Any tracheal intubation adverse event (TIAE), n (%) | 44 (7.0) | 476 (22.7) | <0.001 |
| Number of intubation attempts, median (IQR) | 1 (1–2) | 2 (1–3) | <0.001 |
| Severe oxygen desaturation (SpO2 decline ≥ 20%), n (%) | 295 (47.0) | 1,058 (50.3) | 0.098 |
