Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The safety and efficacy of a laryngoscopy as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a Vie Scope laryngoscope will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Direct laryngoscopy

Intubation will be done using direct laryngoscopy. The standard intubation procedure is to use a styletted tube and no sedation. When standard laryngoscopy-assisted intubation is not possible, an alternate procedure will be used based on the guidelines on difficult airway management.
