The impact of introducing a videolaryngoscope in the initial training of laryngoscopy for undergraduate medical students: a simulation randomized trial

Early Teaching and Adoption of Videolaryngoscopy in Emergency Medicine Training

“…A study by Malito et al . performed with medical students without prior experience reports similar findings ( 4 ). The participants, 204 students, were divided into 2 groups, one using VL and the other using DL.…”

Recommendations from the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology (SBA) for difficult airway management in adults

“…Video laryngoscopy is a crucial tool for teaching and training the laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation techniques. 34 The quality of imaging provided by the device's screen, with adequate brightness and high definition, facilitates the identification of key landmarks, such as the epiglottis or vocal cords, and enables trainees to guide the tracheal tube more quickly and assertively. Another advantage of training with video laryngoscopy is that the instructor follows the maneuver simultaneously by viewing the screen and can make observations or instant corrections to guide the inexperienced laryngoscopist.…”

“…Another advantage of training with video laryngoscopy is that the instructor follows the maneuver simultaneously by viewing the screen and can make observations or instant corrections to guide the inexperienced laryngoscopist. 34 Nonetheless, there are disadvantages and limitations. The cost of most devices is still high, curbing their wide availability and use.…”

Videolaryngoscopy in anesthesia and perioperative medicine: innovations, challenges, and best practices

“… 17 Malito et al, in a randomized trial comparing video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy in manikin scenarios, demonstrated improved visualization of anatomical structures and higher success rate on the first attempt intubation for undergraduate medical students. 18 Kee et al, in a randomized clinical trial, showed that training medicine residents with video laryngoscopes instead of direct laryngoscopes had similar transfer of skills for difficult intubation using manikin scenarios; however, it lacks confirmation in a real clinical setting. 19 …”
