In the current literature, only a few cases reported showing thyroid storm-induced by trauma, and we would like to present the clinical features and management of this life-threatening endocrinological emergency.
The success rate of endotracheal intubation decreases in paramedic students who used VL during endotracheal intubation education and had to use Macintosh laryngoscopes later. Therefore we believe that solely videolaryngoscopes is not enough in endotracheal intubation training programs.
