Applied forces with direct versus indirect laryngoscopy in neonatal intubation: a randomized crossover mannequin study
Cavallin et al.
Lower forces were applied to the epiglottis during videolaryngoscopy than with direct laryngoscopy. This lower force may reduce the risk of patient harm during intubation.

Measurement of forces applied during Macintosh direct laryngoscopy compared with GlideScope® videolaryngoscopy
Russell et al.
The peak lifting force on the base of the tongue during laryngoscopy is less with video laryngoscopes than direct laryngoscopes.

Clinical Performance
Video Laryngoscopy vs Direct Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation in the Operating Room A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial
Ruetzler et al.
Intubation failure occurred in 12 of 4413 surgical procedures (0.27%) using video laryngoscopy vs 161 of 4016 surgical procedures (4.0%) using direct laryngoscopy (relative risk, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.03-0.14; P < .001).

Laryngoscopy and Tracheal Intubation: Does Use of a Video Laryngoscope Facilitate Both Steps of the Procedure?
Prekker et al.
Successful intubation on the first attempt occurred in 83.2% of patients in the video laryngoscope group and 72.2% of patients in the direct laryngoscope group. Additionally, the use of a video laryngoscope was associated with an improved grade of view as compared with a direct laryngoscope (adjusted odds ratio for increasingly favorable grade of view 3.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.47 to 3.99).

A multicentre randomised controlled trial of the McGrath™ Mac videolaryngoscope versus conventional laryngoscopy
Kriege et al.
The first-pass tracheal intubation success rate was higher with video laryngoscopy (92%) than with direct laryngoscopy (82%). Additionally, the Cormack and Lehane grade ≥ 3 was observed more frequently with direct laryngoscopy (84/1039, 8%) compared with video laryngoscopy (8/1053, 0.7%; p < 0.001) .

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adults undergoing tracheal intubation: a Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis update
Hansel et al.
Video laryngoscopes likely reduce rates of failed intubation (Macintosh-style: risk ratio [RR]=0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.26–0.65; hyperangulated: RR=0.51; 95% CI, 0.34–0.76; channeled: RR=0.43, 95% CI, 0.30–0.61) with increased rates of successful intubation on first attempt and better glottic views across patient groups and settings. Hyperangulated designs are likely favorable in terms of reducing the rate of esophageal intubation, and result in improved rates of successful intubation in individuals presenting with difficult airway features (P=0.03).

Tracheal intubation with channeled vs. non-channeled videolaryngoscope blades
Biro et al.
Intubation duration was shorter with the channeled blades 17 (12-27) s vs. 29 (25-51) s (median and range; p < 0.001).
