Experimental: Intubation using GlideScope Ranger
The study site has two critical care transport teams per shift and will, at shift change, assign intubation team A to use the GlideScope Ranger for all intubations on that day.
|
Device: GlideScope Ranger Intubation
Intubation with GlideScope Ranger Video Laryngoscope
|
Active Comparator: intubation using direct laryngoscopy
The study site has two critical care transport teams per shift and will, at shift change, assign intubation team B. Team B will do intubations using direct laryngoscopy only that day.
|
Device: Direct Laryngoscopy
Intubations will be done with direct laryngoscopy.
