Abstract
Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the traditional approach to endotracheal intubation (ETI). The intubating laryngeal mask airway (I-LMA) is used as a primary intubating device by some pre-hospital personnel and by those in combat and at combat hospitals. The adverse and austere conditions of combat and civilian settings can limit the success of DL and I-LMA. The objective of our pilot study was to compare length of time to intubate and intubation success of DL and ETI with the Res-Q-Scope (RQS), a new fiberoptic handheld battery-operated video intubating scope with a 2.75-inch square screen.
