Abstract

In case of intubation for patients under emergency conditions, health care providers seem to face more unexpected difficulties performing that to those in normal conditions. Nowadays, equipment for intubation has been much developed, so-called “video laryngoscope” to help improve laryngoscopic views and increase a success rate in intubation for patients under a difficult intubation condition. However, it is very important to understand its effectiveness of the equipment utilization and more importantly to gain insights into the experiences of users. This article aims to introduce the equipment utilization techniques of video laryngoscope, advantages and disadvantages of different types of video laryngoscope in Thailand. It is also to assist physicians and users to be able to select a proper device for patients under different conditions, thereby increasing in a higher success rate of intubation and bringing down a number of complications that may occur during the equipment utilization.
