Tracheal intubation remains a life-saving procedure that is typically not
difficult for experienced providers in routine conditions. Unfortunately,
difficult intubation remains challenging to predict and intubation conditions may
make the event life threatening. Recent technological advances aim to further
improve the ease, speed, safety, and success of intubation but have not been
fully investigated. Video laryngoscopy, though proven effective in the difficult
airway, may result in different intubation success rates in various settings and
in different providers' hands. The rescue surgical airway remains a rarely used
but critical skill, and research continues to investigate optimal techniques.
This review highlights some of the new thoughts and research on these important
topics.
