Complications of Orotracheal Intubation Using Video Laryngoscopy Complications include Dental or oropharyngeal soft tissue trauma during tube insertion Vomiting and aspiration during tube insertion Incorrect tube placement (eg, esophageal intubation) Hypoxia during the intubation attempt Equipment for Orotracheal Intubation Using Video Laryngoscopy Gloves, mask, gown, and eye protection (ie, universal precautions) Syringe for balloon cuff inflation Sterile water-soluble lubricant or anesthetic jelly Endotracheal tube, appropriately sized to patient, and rigid introducing stylet Video laryngoscope Suctioning apparatus, Yankauer catheter, and Magill forceps, to clear the pharynx as needed Bag-valve apparatus Oxygen source (100% oxygen, 15 L / minute) Pulse oximeter and appropriate sensors Capnometer (end-tidal carbon dioxide monitor) Drugs to aid intubation (typically an induction agent and paralytic to enable rapid sequence intubation) Ventilation face mask, oropharyngeal / nasopharyngeal airways, appropriately sized to patient Nasogastric tube In case laryngoscopy fails, equipment to insert a supraglottic airway or perform a cricothyrotomy If a video laryngoscope is not available, use a standard direct laryngoscope with a curved or straight blade.
