Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional direct laryngoscopy (Macintosh blade)   One time oral endotracheal intubation in the ED using a Macintosh direct laryngoscope; performed by the principal investigator with the same pre-oxygenation, RSI care. Bougie or stylet permitted if required. Tube position confirmed with 5-point auscultation, EtCO2 and ultrasound. Outcomes recorded include first-pass success, number of attempts, and time to intubation.Single oral endotracheal intubation episode performed in the ED, expected duration approximately 1–5 minutes per patient until confirmation of tube placement. 
Intervention  Videolaryngoscopy-assisted endotracheal intubation  One time oral endotracheal intubation in the ED using a Sandors videolaryngoscope with appropriate reusable adult blades; performed by the principal investigator after prior training. Standard ED RSI meds and pre-oxygenation as per protocol (not part of the intervention). Bougie or stylet may be used if needed. Tube position confirmed with 5 point auscultation, EtCO2 and ultrasound. Outcomes recorded include first-pass success, number of attempts, and time to intubation. Single oral endotracheal intubation episode performed in the ED, expected duration approximately 1–5 minutes per patient until confirmation of tube placement.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Attempt is defined as any insertion of either a direct laryngoscope or videolaryngoscope into the patient’s mouth. Number of attempts required for successful intubation will be recorded.

First pass success rate, defined when the blade was applied for the first time and the endotracheal tube was passed through the vocal cords in the same attempt. Incidence of first pass success rate will be recorded.

Time to intubation, defined as the time from when the laryngoscope is first placed into the patient’s mouth until confirmation of ETT on capnography will be recorded
 
18 Months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Intubation related adverse events, including major and minor adverse events within 30 mins of intubation will be recorded.  18 Months

Brief Summary  

Primary Purpose:
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of videolaryngoscopy and conventional direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation in adult patients presenting to the emergency department.

Hypothesis:

Videolaryngoscopy and conventional laryngoscopy may show differences in intubation outcomes such as first-pass success rate, number of attempts, time to intubation, and peri-intubation adverse events in the emergency department.
