Summary
Videolaryngoscopes have been in existence for several decades but in the last decade have taken a central role in both difficult and routine airway management. During that time videolaryngoscopy has not only become embedded in most difficult airway algorithms but the technique has become part of core airway management skills and the use of awake videolaryngoscopy has increased. This chapter describes the various types of videolaryngoscopes, their roles, strengths and limitations. Strategies to optimise use of Macintosh and hyperangulated devices are described as well as which adjuncts are best suited to their use. The issue of ‘can see, cannot intubate’ is discussed along with techniques to overcome it. The role of videolaryngoscopy outside the operating theatre, in critical care, in the emergency department and in pre-hospital care is discussed in this and other chapters.
