Abstract
Background: Endotracheal intubation (TI) is a critical procedure in emergency airway management. While, direct laryngoscopy (DL) is widely used and video laryngoscopy (VL) enhances visualization and may improve intubation success and safety. Objective: This study aimed to compare VL and DL in critically ill patients requiring emergency intubation, evaluating efficacy, success rates, and complications. Patients and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the ICU at Benha University Hospital. Patients aged ≥18 years requiring emergency intubation were randomized into VL (n=55) or DL (n=55) groups. Primary outcomes included first-pass success, intubation time, glottic visualization (POGO score), and complication rates. Results: VL significantly improved glottic visualization (POGO: 80.44% vs. 54.18%, p
