I agree with @doctimcook that we need to ask better questions than first pass success, and I am not against increased use of VL (while not accepting that DL skills are no longer needed). I believe we should aspire to universal VL availability, and that VL with a Mac blade may be the best of both, offering DL skill retention with immediate advantage of VL back up.

This @NEJM DEVICE trial paper is touted as the “death nail for DL” - which seems incongruous with its findings:

It shows that inexperienced (median 50 previous intubations, IQR 25-99) providers (< 5% anaesthesia), more familiar with VL (<7% had used DL for more than 75% of previous intubations), do better with VL - hardly earth shattering.

They lack skills with DL and fail to intubate on first attempt 1 in 7 times even with VL (which they’ve used more often) - that worries me, especially knowing that VL is NOT universally available in all sites where intubation may be performed.

This is not a death nail for DL as much as it is a dire warning that experience is key, even with VL.

Also even in (really) inexperienced hands, DL still has a high FPS.
