Emergency medicine has evolved as a speciality but airway management is still a challenge. Traditionally, direct laryngoscopy (DL) is used for intubation with maneuvers to directly visualize the vocal cords. Most tracheal intubations in the emergency department (ED) are done on an emergent basis and enhancing the technicalities of intubation can be life-saving. Video laryngoscopy (VL) is available in the emrgenyc department and can help reduce the intubation failure rate; hence, it has been recommended for maintaining airways in obese patients.
