Key Words Airway management; Critical care; Emergency intubation; Intubating laryngeal mask airway; Video laryngoscope; First-pass success; Resource-limited settings
Core Tip This editorial highlights Aggarwal et al’s trial showing video laryngoscopy (VL) outperforming intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) in critically ill patients, with higher first-attempt success (87.5% vs 53.1%), faster intubation (44.0 ± 19.7 seconds vs 82.5 ± 14.5 seconds), and fewer complications. Superior glottic visualization positions VL as first-line for emergency airways, with ILMA as rescue. Findings advocate protocol revisions, VL training, and resource prioritization for better outcomes.
