ABSTRACT

Aim:

To describe the adoption patterns of intubating devices used at a major teaching and research facility. Materials &

methods:

Retrospective analysis of 2012-2019 data on frequency and trends in airway management devices collected from our anesthesia information management system.

Results:

Use of direct laryngoscopy was more frequent, but there was a downward trend in use over time (p < 0.008) in favor of video laryngoscopy (VL), which increased significantly (p < 0.008). The largest growth among devices was the McGrath VL, which increased from 0.2% in 2012 to 36.2% of cases in 2019.

Conclusion:

Our study shows a clear increase in VL usage which has implications in quality of care and medical education.
