Trend and outcomes of video laryngoscope use across PICUs.
The use of video laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation is now common for adult ICUs, but has not been quantified in pediatric ICUs (PICUs). A retrospective review was conducted of PICUs across the US and four other countries. There was a wide variability of use of video laryngoscopy across PICUs. There has been a significant increase in the use of video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy from 2011 to 2015, which has resulted in a decrease in adverse outcomes.
