Higher first pass success when used with direct laryngscope vs. styletted ET tube regardless of whether difficult airway was expected or not
Can pass blind and confirm tracheal placement with tracheal clicks and hold-up sign
Success rates likely depend on operator familiarity with device
High success rate - especially good for trauma, c-spine precautions
Use for both reg and nasotrach
Lower complication rate
Limited by fogging, secretion, recognition of anatomy, cost, and rare provider experience
Easy to place
Can be placed quickly
Does not protect against aspiration
Good for nurses and paramedics with limited intubation skill
Indicated if difficult airway predicted: cannot see glottis with laryngoscope
Reduced risk for aspiration compared to face mask or LMA *Can maintain spinal immobilization
Large size predisposes to esophogeal dilatation and laceration as a complication
Prefered over cricothyrotomy in children up to age 10-12
Oxygenates well
Can use for 30-45 min
Can retain CO2
May cause pneumothorax or barotrauma
Advanced airway adjuncts
Surgical airways
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Intranasal sedation
Mechanical ventilation 
ICU sedation
Bag valve mask ventilation
Airway pressure release ventilation
