Intubation During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

June 14, 2016 updated by: Łukasz Szarpak, Medical University of Warsaw
The aim of the study was to compare the intubation time and effectiveness, the grade of larynx visibility, and the ease of intubation in adults performed by nurses using 4 devices: a Macintosh blade laryngoscope (MAC), and a TruView EVO2 (EVO2), TruView EVO2 PCD (PCD), and ETView SL (ETView) laryngoscope, in simulated CPR settings with and without CC.
