Comparison of VieScope Versus Macintosh Laryngoscope for Emergency Intubation Under Level C Personal Protective Equipment Conditions

The current COVID-19 pandemic, this is especially since the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to occur mainly through respiratory droplets generated by coughing and sneezing, by direct contact with contaminated surfaces and because in a large number of patients COVID-19 disease may be asymptomatic. As recommended by the CDC for aerosol-generating procedures (AGP), medical personnel should be equipped with full personal protective equipment (PPE) for AGP. Therefore, it is reasonable to search for the most effective methods of intubation in those conditions.
