Description
Evgenia Dimou and co-authors compare two video scopes for placing breathing tubes in adults in 2026, using team framing since the head byline is shorter than the catalog list. Video scopes aid airway work in anesthesia and emergency care. Nine studies met the entry rules. Real patient studies were kept apart from dummy studies. Only real patient data entered the pooled math.
No clear winner emerged on first try success. Timing results likewise showed no firm edge. Bias and certainty checks were run under set rules. Dummy study results were summed in words only. The authors say device pick can rest on training and stock. More head to head trials in sick patients would help.
