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
